Cuddly animals. Incuding Snoopy & other Snoopy related items.
Post cards. All sorts.

Re: "Collections"

I used to collect beer mats, had thousands of them all brand new and unsoiled dating back to 1960, they included rare sets, and the much sought after 'Guinness Light', the unsuccessful light beer Guinness brought out in the 1970's it was a huge flop with the advertising costing them millions at the time. I passed them on to my younger brother who still has them stored somewhere.

Re: "Collections"

Ever thought of opening shop

Re: "Collections"

Not a shop, we have a market stall/places at A&C fairs & toy fairs. Trouble is, there's a lot I just can't part with.
I keep adding more from said fairs etc, even when I should be selling.

Re: "Collections"

I used to have a lovely collection of Coalport figurines but they were all taken when my house was burgled and I never had the heart to replace them.

Nowadays all I have is my collection of fridge magnets. I buy a fridge magnet from every holiday resort I go to. It used to be wall plates but I ran out of wall space...
