Q-C Posted August 15, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) I temporarily collect, don't keep: arthropods and small reptiles or amphibians. I always have jars or pill bottles in my car and purse. But I haven't done it as much this past year. But that will change, as we are in a new state with new habitats with new and interesting creatures. If I can't identify something I have to find out what it is.

sarah_444 Posted August 15, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) I buy a postcard whenever I'm in a new city. My family & friends started bringing me back one whenever they traveled somewhere too, so I have a pretty good collection now. I'll probably put them in an album or something someday but for now they're just in a stack in my dresser. I also collect sea glass, I have a small vase full of it. I love sitting at the beach and finding a piece hiding there. Edit: I tried to post the sea glass pic but it won't show. It's hiding in my Flickr album (in my sig) if anyone really wants to hunt for it. Edited August 15, 2012 by sarah_444 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the above Posted August 15, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I have lots of collections. This one is online, if you like unusual items take a look: http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c59/Battlestar_Atlantia/My%20Collection%20of%20Asian-Islamic%20Art%20and%20Metalworks/?albumview=slideshow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah_444 Posted August 15, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Just one piece of cobalt blue? Need to find more of that colour lol I wish. They're rare around here. I think I read once the blue glass came from medicine/poison bottles back in the day among a few other things. I do have about 10 now, but they are teeny tiny peices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted August 18, 2012 #9 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I used to collect vinyl. But only Trance and other electronic music. I have some nice limited coloured vinyl. Some of them limited to 250 copies. Stopped collecting though when Vinyl died in the clubbing scene. (well there is a few purists out there still) I can't bring myself to sell them. lol I have lots of collections. This one is online, if you like unusual items take a look: http://s25.photobuck...mview=slideshow Wow some nice stuff there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At which point she stops we with: "No, I'm not going to tell you which of your swords I'd choose to fight Zombies" Girls are no fun! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have a few at home, rest are with a nephew. A good Machete is a tremendoucly effective multi purpose tool and weapon. You see a lot of old Sheffield and general military machetes that have been converted into ethnographic weapon types. Especially in Africa, you get some nice old ones rehilted with carved handles etc. Even now they are often the 'sidearm' of choice for many.
