I read a post early on ali loves curtis about ali's postcard collection. She asked what kinds of things other people collect.
past: miniature erasers. frog knick-knacks. wizard of oz paraphernalia. stickers. creative cardboard coasters. trolls. fanny packs. my little ponies. clever magazine ads. porcelain dolls.

present: tea cups/coffee mugs. ticket stubs. buttons. witty or pretty pins. bottle caps. received (post)cards. used postage stamps. colored paper clips. lists. retired daily planners. pens. plastic bags. negatives. shoe boxes.


to be inherited: precious moments. cabbage patch dolls. christmas ornaments. disney movies. all 50 state magnets.
