Welcome shayjay, to our forum.
I too fell in love with Owls, especially snowy owls after watching the very first Harry Potter!

only 30!! lol.. yer my mum collects pigs becuz her name in fijian or whatever is pig do all her friends started buying her pigs and i have bought her some to add to her collection.. my mum also collects teapots..

my hobby is collecting pets, but my sister in law collects spoons, when ever someone goes anywhere they buy her a spoon. she has over 3000 spoons and had to stop as she had to many spoon cupboards she kept them in. you may want to try spoons, stamps, coins or even match boxes. anything can be fun, and like you i have a collection of stuff toys too. i have about 50 and my husband calls them dust collectors. hope you find something to collect.

I collect pens ...anyone and everyones pens ...I've got piles of pens ...all gathered by accident  

My Boyfriend collects pens, apparently. He told me just recently when I went to give him one of mine. His collection is not by accident

I have started collecting postcards, but only recently so I only have them from:
Aus, NZ, Iran, Ukraine, South africa and canada.

^^^ I hope Silly remembered this bit of info when he went to turkey  

lol

Now I have:

Germany, USA, Ukraine, Portugal, South Africa, Iran, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Spain (Canary Islands), Estonia, China and Lichtenstein.

Shame on me.

I actually don't have any souvenirs from Turkey apart from a few items of jewelery. Speaking of souvenirs though, all the Australian souvenirs we have at our place are made in China. Where would our country be without sweatshops?

I collect books, anything that takes my fancy but I do have favourite authors

I love collecting Stickers
