Hey Pandas! Share Weird Things That You Collect

My parents collected shells for decades. When they stopped beach combing in their later years, my mother donated almost all of them to her church. One of the other church members converted a cheap mirror into a beautiful showpiece with a number of them. My mother bought it and it hung in their entry way for years. A cousin now owns that piece.

You Know the curse about taking rocks/sand from the Hawaiian islands right??

Really cool, but it's illegal to transport foreign soils. Not to mention a lot of beaches forbid people from taking natural elements from the beach, such as sand.

I must be the only person thinking this but which is which is it in order from starting at the top of the list and the bottom of the sand jar or visa versa ?

This idea yeah it is good but it is a really demanding job :(

woah~ like a shop

Actually, beer can collecting is a big deal. When I was in high school, my friend's father had half his basement racked up just like this. Probably a dozen rows of shelves...filled...both sides...floor to ceiling. He would travel around the world attending various beer can collector events. Cans are traded. Many are rare and can go for hundreds of dollars each.

Cool! (but the thought of dusting all of that blows my mind)

was this a collection or he just didn't throw out the empties? Very impressive.

That is impressively extensive

Compulsive Captain Horder Disorder !☝

The Gorton's Fisherman! Awesome!

I relate ... sometimes I like different versions of the same thing too, so that I can know it thoroughly through every angle

You need the crying child gipsy sailor!

This is the absolute best. I LOVE IT.

do you have a version in serbian? if not, i can buy one and send it to you :)

it looks like you dont have one in hungarian either - can send you one =)

Hey, I can send you one in Bulgarian, just send an address/p.o box :)

Hey this is so cool I personally love the book. I would never think of this! I guess you don't have the albanian version.

Do you have Finnish?

too cute to use

Someone else who collects erasers! :D (My collection is far messier though, since I don't just collect food-shaped ones, but every eraser that catches my eye.) Great collection. :)

Hey, I do this, too! But also with any shape.

I have most of these

Gimme

Damn... I BOUGHT this collection in '73 while in college. Still have it, too.

those are the exact same ones my stepdad had

I like this personal challenge.

I had this collection, but got rid of all my hard copy books 10 years ago.

The organization in this photo makes me very happy. lol

Why past tense? Did you sell your collection?

My parents used to drag me to flea markets as a kid. They gave me a hobby collecting these so I’d complain less. All different intricate shapes like fish, liberty bell, etc.

The cobalt blue bottles are my favorites!

I also collect old bottles like this but my collect is smaller

ooo! i really love these! idk why they just made me really happy all a sudden!

I'm collecting these too! :D

So beautiful! Where do you get these things from?
