Lilith-
I noticed that you didn't share what you collect... please fill us in.

I collect wood... wood statues, wood bowls, weird, cool driftwood, wood boxes, etc. My prize is a handcarved statue about 3 feet tall, of a woman carrying a basket on her head. Got it at a flea market for $35.... Have been offered $1,500 since... no way!

I collect china, crystal, and antique dishes too. My prize is my grandmother's china.

I think the wood thing reflects my love of the earth, and my appreciation for the craft. Don't know about the china/dish thing... but can't pass up a beautiful old dish.
