Collecting

[tNs]

I collect anything that has to do with my favourite sports teams.....

 

[vxrider]

I collect air-cooled Volkswagens(I have five) and Converse Chuck Taylors high top sneakers(I have 61 pairs).

 

[haha_on_me]

Elongated Coins (crushed pennies) and rocks, love a strangely shaped piece of stone from some creek bed or seashore and sand from beaches I have been too. But my pride and joy is a jar of Volcanic Ash that I swept off my front porch when Mount St Helens erupted.

I read the other day, that it's not illegal to crush pennies. Part of my pasture borders a railroad track, and trust me, we've smashed plenty of pennies.

Mount St. Helens, wow! Didn't that cover everything with alot of dust? That's a cool item.

*shakes head
A thread not to be missed.
Now if you'll excuse me for a quarter of an hour, I must tend to the testicles.
*walks away murmuring "tending to the testicles"

Gotta love it when a mad scientist mumbles to themselves.

We lived in Montana and it was coming down like snow..

Sports memorbilia is a popular collection. The Indianapolis Colts are selling their wares at a breakneck speed.

5 VW's and 61 Chucks! I bow down to thee. I just have one 04 convertible Beetle, and two pairs of Chucks.

True, nothing very unique about it. I'm not fussy either....I have jerseys and coats that don't even fit me. Posters, flags, mugs, cups, hats, signed prints, street signs.....you name it, I'll take it!

I remember watching it on television. Everything looked like it was covered with a dirty snow.

You sound like the ultimate sports fan. I understand having shirts that don't fit. I have several old concert t's that don't even come close to fitting me.

What teams?

Those two teams have huge followings. Gotta love watching hockey live.

Indeed they do. Part of it is the State in which they are both located. A total blue collar State all around.....

Nothing better than live hockey, throw in at least one fight....heaven!

I met the Flyer team last year while in Buffalo. The entire team signed my jersey....I'll post a pic of it here tomorrow if you'd like to see.

Yeah excellent, post a photo of it. I know Pennsylvania is a huge sports loving state. From the Penn State Lions to the Pirates, to the Steelers. I lived in PA for 7 years, and couldn't believe how fanatical people were about their sports. Almost like Indiana is about thier basketball.

I'll do that....I'd be more than happy to share. They are a little too fanatical at times, so I read. I live in Toronto, my ultimate sports weekend away is to see a Flyer game on a Saturday night and then attend a Steeler game on the Sunday. One can dream right?

Dreams yes. We all must have a dream....even if it is about sports. hahahaha.

 

[huskie]

I NEED some antique pro to come out and visit me and my old home.... tell my what I have and don't have....

That's just a sports dream my friend.....I have much more dreams, just not something I would post on a collecting thread LOL

Erica, I must admit, that you have the most unusual collection I've ever seen. It's really neat though. I would have never thought to collect something like that. I can see why you do. The women seemed to have style and class back in those days. Everything was done with eloquence and pagentry.

Did you happen to get Yvonne DeCarlo's obit? I would suspect that hers was pretty neat.

As 'promised' Kimono embroidery detail. It's only partial but you get the idea. The back is the most ornate . On this one it's currently facing the wall . Might seem strange but to me the front is far more interesting with it's physical contrasts in form and with the lining etc.

Your collection is both amazing and unique . I have a respect for a genre I had never considered until now. Thank you.

 

[sensualquills]

I did! The San Francisco Chronicle's picture of Yvonne De Carlo was in her Munster wears. I don't like her as Lilly Munster... my grandmother mailed me the obit from the LA Times with her from a much earlier beauty shot. she really was a spectacular actress. thank you for calling my collection unusual and not sick (that's what i get a lot.) it means a lot to be among friends/people who can appreciate collecting things.
