Calling All Collectors

Do you collect anything? I used to collect a lot more things but did a big clean out of the place a few years ago. Now I'm down to collecting just 2 things, bookmarks (some to use in books & some to decorate with) and hand fans.

Can't really narrow it down to just 1 favorite of each, lol; but here is my favorite fan:

And here is 1 of my favorite bookmarks:

Would love to know (& see, if possible) what others collect; a lot of collections are really interesting, history & story behind some stuff.

I have a large collection of collectibles. Some are Lenox and one is Irish Beleek vase, another is Waterford Crystal vase and others are just things I liked over the years. When I moved here to TN he built me two shelves that are in the dining room. There are others scattered around the house. Some are just things friends gave me. Somewhere I have photos of them. If all else fails I'll take some photos and post them.

These shelves were built for me when I moved here to TN. I have more throughout the house, but this is most of them.

I don't know if I collect them...or just gravitate toward them....but I have a lot of wolves around...and Native American artwork. I used to collect bells, but I gave away most. I have a glass display cabinet I keep the remaining ones in....along with a couple wolves and some things my son brought me from around the world. O/R....speaking of fans, my son brought three huge hand-painted ones home from Japan for my 2 daughters and oldest granddaughter. Really pretty.
