When I was little, it was horse books and statues, rocks, shells, and Liddle Kiddles. A few years later, I was drawn to Nancy Drew books, candles, shot glasses, spoons,and all things related to cats. I also have more than a person needs of Texas, Civil War, and old Tarzan books. I have crosses, nutcrackers, beer steins, pewter wizards, and heart boxes. Small vases and unique teacups. Teapots. Vintage souvenir plates. Any vintage china that I think is pretty, especially if it has wildflowers or this one particular floral pattern...
You get the picture. I am a collector.
I've never spent much in the gathering of my collections (except for a couple of signed and numbered Windberg prints years ago), but I've never MADE money on them, either. Until now, anyway. I've accumulated an assortment of part-time jobs. I'm up to four now...if you don't count my blogging and fiction-writing. I think that qualifies as a collection.
My latest is a little farther commute by about five minutes. But the lake view on the way is spectacular, and there's no traffic to contend with - only a few deer to dodge.
I'm off to my next one, but first, here's the Dread-Pirate-Tommy in 1988...
