I collect mineral eggs - as in lumps of mineral carved into the shape of eggs.
My husband has a small collection of Caithness paperweights and I have Royal Crown Derby paperweights, probably too many.

Like this?

My aunt gave me these.

Haha, it's wild to think that people can collect multiple things and not just aggressively fixate on one thing! I admire that!

I have many... interestes...

(Would have a bigger watch collection if I wasn’t spending my money of airsoft and fish! )

Oh yes, I also have an airsoft collection.

And I'd probably have a 7ft tank and a zebra pleco if I stopped spending money on dolls to be honest. But £25 for an 80 year old doll is just too good of an offer for me to pass up.

My brother used to play airsoft! He still has all the stuff, but doesn't use it anymore. He got me to play once, then he shot me in the shoulder and I never played again

This is my most recent Crown Derby paperweight. I managed to find someone selling it for half price! It's also one of the biggest, most of them are a lot smaller

I don't really collect things, but I tend to accumulate archery gear and musical instruments, especially pennywhistles.

I have musical instruments but can't play them.
2 reasons
1) Some need tuning, strings, bows
2) Never had lessons ???

Except my tambourine, deer toe rattle, ankle bells, and sistrum. These are easy to play
