Title: Collection(s)
Post by: fiendmf on June 07, 2010, 05:02:49 AM
This thread is for those who are collectors, to share their collection(s) with the rest here at HAF. Be it by way of photograph(s), or lists. Seeing as how I started the thread, I shall go first. First, we'll start with my Misfits/Samhain/Danzig collection. For photographs detailing said collection, visit the following link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fiendmf/se ... 219431446/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/fiendmf/sets/72157624219431446/)

Next up, we have, my Horror collection. This is not everything, but it's a nice chunk. Again, visit the following link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fiendmf/se ... 095091647/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/fiendmf/sets/72157624095091647/)

Here we have, a few of my favorite books. Visit the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fiendmf/se ... 095135823/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/fiendmf/sets/72157624095135823/)

Last but not least, we have...weaponry! Visit the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fiendmf/se ... 220511284/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/fiendmf/sets/72157624220511284/)

Thanks for taking the time to look! Looking forward to seeing/hearing about other collections.

Nice!  Your Misfits collection particular is pretty sweet.  Good idea for a thread, too.  I'll have to put up some pictures online of my Kidrobot vinyl toy collection so I can join in.  =D

I'll be the odd ball for the forum....  ;)
I collect old quilt patterns, most of which aren't used or seen anymore.  Like the Daddy Hex pattern I picked up a few weeks ago at a thrift store.
Bottom left of pic here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/34773227/lo ... t-creative (http://www.etsy.com/listing/34773227/lot-of-4-vintage-mountain-mist-creative)

I also have a tendency to collect odd ball and warped embroidery patterns, I just found the most awesome site for new stuff like this www.urbanthreads.com (http://www.urbanthreads.com)

I have a ton of Federal glass and will pick some up if the price is right, grandfather worked there and used to bring home lots of it.

Then there are the frogs...........  I love frogs.  There are a lot of frogs in the house.  My Christmas tree, when actually put up has 20 frog ornaments and the collection grows by a new one every year.

Well, the first circulated US penny was minted in 1793, so... then =^_^=

Has the coin's design changed in that time?

Hmmm a good thing to collect as one has a finite collection.

I collect empty alcohol bottles.  I only keep the interesting looking ones, though.  Most of my collection in made up of wine bottles, sitting on top of the entertainment center in my living room, or the window sill in my kitchen, aka the cheap burglar alarm.
