Hmmmm, how did I miss this thread for so long!
I'm pretty boring. I want a cool collection too!! The only thing I could say we "collect" is a Christmas ornament for whatever big thing happened that year, with the date on it. My parents had 1/year for each of us growing up and I used to think it was so cool. I hope that one day my mom gathers them all together and passes them along to me.
I guess I could say I collect nail polish. I buy a new one just about everytime I go into the drugstore, I probably have hundreds and I barely even paint my nails anymore!
The other thing I guess I could say I collect is crafts. I am addicted to buying craft stuff. Lately, I've even used the stuff to actually make stuff [gasp]! But I have tons and tons just boxed up.
I'd really love to have something to collect, but I can never think of anything that I want a collection of!
I don''t have a hibiscus collection yet, but I imagine I will soon. I love them.
Betsy - I've been thinking about China lately too b/c we've been having people over so often. Would you collect all different kinds? Just wondering cuz I always think of China in complete sets, but I do like mismatched stuff, I just think I might feel pressure trying to find mismatched stuff that was complimentary. Damn, I didn't even START collecting it and I'm already over-analyzing!

Whatever ornament we got symbolized something we did that year, like the year we got our kitty, we got a kitty ornament. I guess thats more of a tradition.
I would LOVE to collect wine, but I always drink it to fast too! Maybe I will have to start getting a wine I don't like, that way it will stay around for awhile.
AND I think I want to start collecting fine china. I never was really into it, but now I love cooking, and having people over, and I think it would be cool to serve them on nice china from all over the world.......
