My collections

My philosophy is that once you've got two of something, it's a collection. By these standards, I collect many many things. But this post is going to be about things I actually actively collect for some sort of purpose.

1.) Bumper stickers and other large stickers

I try to get a couple whenever I go somewhere interesting that has a gift shop. Then I put them all over my mom's old guitar case and this is what I have so far: 

2.) Bottle caps

This one started with Izze bottle caps like these:

But then I quickly branched out to any and all bottle caps and I now have this many:

Then I've made one of these, and plan to make more as soon as I can:

3.) Fake bonsai trees

I only have two, but by my standards it IS a collection.

4.) Hmong stuffed animals

These are so great and I always get one or two at places like the Festival of Nations or the People's Fair.
