Hallo! I’m looking to see what all you guys collect! Whether it’s a common collection, or totally unique! Show me you Collections!

I myself have multiple! Some collections are...

•Feathers! From Peacocks, to ducks, tail feathers, even wild birds! I have a “treasure” chest filled with feathers! I have a handful of my favorites in a bouque on my dresser. There’s usually a lot more included, especially of the peacock feathers, but I can’t add more, as my fan is now permanently on the ON switch for summer, and the wind blows them out and everywhere.

•I also collect four-lead clovers! And the occasional 5-leaf! I have a notebook full of them, each clove pressed into it’s own page with the date found. Here’s a few pictures of them! For the 5-leaf one, it’s kinda hard to press them to where you can see the 5th leaf, but this is the best preserved one, if you look closely, you can see a smaller lead on top of one of the others.

•Some of my other Collections I have are shells, polished rocks, broken flip flops (My favorite shoes break...I. Can’t just throw them away! They protected my feet from chicken poop so many times, they must be honored!! :lau), Old glass bottles, and dream catchers! I also have a basket of clothes pins. Not really a collection, but I still have them for some reason.
 
Well... chickens! Haha :)
Also seems like I collect yarn and craft supplies, I never seem to have enough and always want more! I also collect plants, I love having a variety of stuff in my flower beds, if only they all lived :/ I also like to collect tiny things, I have a perfect tiny dried clove of garlic that grew, the size of a dime, but has 8 or 9 cloves in it, a perfect bunch! And a tiny dried pomegranate the size of a dime too, tiny shells, the tiny feathers that grow on top of a peacocks head, the ones that look like their tail feathers but only 2 inches long, even tho we have around 50 peacocks free ranging our farm my entire life, those tiny head feathers are a rare find, I've only ever found 3.
Oh yeah I also collect and dry press flowers,ones I've grown, been given or found in the wild.
 
i used to collect old video game systems and games and newer ones as well, i loved collecting game boy games and systems. (not that i had very many)

also i would like to collect guns or more likely muzzle-loaders, right now i have one that my grandpa made years ago (a hawken rifle which was a kit from Thompson center) would really like to get into flintlock rifles and collect them though.
 
Definitely chickens!

Also I used to collect bouncy balls and sticky hands eons ago. Lol while I've weaned down I've kept some if the more unusual sticky things. Everything from balls that roll down glass etc to a giant 12"+ work 2" white mouse butterflies etc. All sticky. I know it's strange but fun to see the different ones.

Plants outside. I love flowers and roses(although I've lost many of the ones I've planted due to hard winters).

Also edible plants. blueberries, grapes, cherry, etc. And in the house I grow avocado trees, hopefully one day they will produce but I doubt it.

Inside antiques and crockery.

Also books I have hundreds of books! Maybe thousands. Most of which I have read.

Oh it would be a dream come true to have a library like the one in Beauty and the Beast. LOL

I also collect beautiful eggs that I blow and save. Mostly from my chickens quail and guineas I also have several wild bird eggs and I'm hoping to add some turkey and pheasant eggs. I'm learning to carve eggs but I also blow and give them as gifts. They also can be painted to accent their natural colors and make great ornaments.

I also collect little antique shoe figures.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something too.
