I prefer not to think about it...  * artist china and custom glazed china/ceramic model horses * books signed by the authors (mostly from author events) * anything and everything with lobsters on it which stems from a middle school joke and has held on I have growing "collections" of beautiful journals and exotic yarn, though it's because I don't write/knit fast enough to keep up with the pretty ones I find. |

Years ago I used to collect stablemates, mini whinnies and Schleichs as well as Julip (they were much cheaper!), but I sold lots of them along with all my Julip riders and accessories which is really annoying now I've got back into collecting  |

I collect zines, hardback art/photography/fashion image books, Adventure Time comics, bottle caps, and my beloved Julips. And I'm working on the base of my art collection. One day I'll have large paintings covering every wall, but for now I only have a few paper-based pieces all unframed and still in their traveling envelopes |

What are zines? I like the sound of the art collection. All originals?

I have an unhealthy obsession with Sylvanian Families! I say unhealthy as they are all still in their boxes. It looks like a shop here!

Egg cups that are pretending to be something else eg bunnies, cars etc . Though they now live in boxes and may well go straight to e-bay soon.
And fabric...... I have boxes and boxes of fabric but my excuse is that I do make patchwork quilts though a few of the pieces have julipy rug shaped pieces cut out of them now!

I have most of my Breyers still but I don't actively buy them. I collect real horse stuff, saddles, saddlecloths and bandages in matching colours. I have sylvanians too!

One day I'll have large paintings covering every wall, but for now I only have a few paper-based pieces all unframed and still in their traveling envelopes  Art collections get so expensive so quickly once you start framing it. I just took a signed/numbered limited edition print to get framed, and I could have bought a lot of Julips for the same price. I have to remind myself how nice it will be up on the wall when it's done. |

I paint and I currently have (with a load of other people) my work exhibited. Most of my work is unframed however.
I can put examples of my work (no animals however) if people are interested.

little (generally handmade/limited edition) booklet things with art/writing etc in them... i guess if you search on etsy you'll prob find some examples? i have a couple friends have made for me i collect music which is proving killer expensive and tricky to store... i have hundreds of cds and near as much vinyl. then i keep all my tickets and ticket stubs from gigs as well as all sorts of band memorabilia and merch. i think that's it really alongside the julips but it's a lot hahaha. |

I collect other models, mostly Breyer and My Beautiful Horses (a 90s/2000s toy range) but whatever takes my fancy really I also have an inadvertent collection of penguins, when I went to secondary school my mum bought me a really ugly long padded coat which my friends said make me look like a penguin, so they've bought me penguin themed birthday/christmas presents ever since... they are all stored in the wardrobe at the moment but I think I will use them for Christmas decorations this year! There's a penguin jumper and a penguin hat to wear too, and I had "adopted" penguins one year who "wrote" to me  |

I don't have huge collections of anything but I do have a small coin collection (ones with pictures on like the olympic 50ps) and badges from places and events I've been to. None of which are properly displayed... Actually thinking about it, do photograghs count? as in ones that I've taken and are now stored on my computer, because I have hundreds of those!

I mainly collect model horses... I have breyer, collectA- pretty much every brand you can find! 90% of my collection is Breyer as they're cheaper and bigger than julips but the tables could turn- I could have 36 julips and 3 breyers next year (it's the opposite now).

Most of mine date from the 1960s, but I have both earlier and newer books. I got Joe and The Race to Rescue for Christmas - I have yet to read it, but I recommend the other two books in the series. |
