What Do You Collect/Whats Your Hobbies?

Most people have some sort of hobby. The enjoyment and satisfaction of a hobby is a great way to be at peace.

 Who remembers the old K-Tel records of the 60s and 70s? Who's still got them? Yep,I kept mine. Mind you I started collecting the 70s compilation hits albums like Whopper,Ripper,Ripper 76,Explosive Hits 75,Bobby Dazzler,Unreal,etc. Got a great collection too.Even bought the 45s and those box sets of albums like Readers Digest,etc.

 

As for books I like collecting books. Usually on my favourate cars. I have a lot of self help books. I like things from the past like old toys just like the ones I had as a child. Nothing like brightening your day by looking at old toys taking your back to your childhood.

Wow Emmy,

nothing the matter with being a big kid, not silly and a smile makes such a difference. must have lived a very sheltered life as in me as I haven't a clue as to what those things are.Your pooch is adorable. My little beast helps me in my darkest moments. Happy collecting

cheers Len

I collect fine China plates many old English ones. And I also collect rare books, manly good uplifting ones that inspire and encourage you. Most have old hardback covers.

Um hobbies.....well I properly should choose some new ones to try. But I like cooking, baking, reading, gardening, practicing the ukulele which is a new hobby. Walking, listening to music, singing in the car when alone, bird watching, watching some movies, op shopping, going to the beach, sight seeing, driving in the country, patchwork, board games and looking at old buildings and such....

Shelley, we have far too similar hobbies... I do like my old Spode and Copeland things though. It began with me digging up a broken Spode blue Italian plate and some bones in the back garden of the terrace house.

I collect AKB48 merchandise. They are a Japanese idol group (they sing, dance, act, etc). I have hundreds of their photos, many photobooks of theirs, and other random items like keychains and cushions.

As for hobbies and interests, I like to watch and read about medicine/medical science and forensics, drawing, taking photos, music, cooking, decorating my room, watching movies and TV shows, writing, body modifications, Japanese culture, crystal healing, posting on Instagram, and more. I've always been interested in Buddhism and lately am making an effort to follow its teachings/philosophies.

I would like to talk with people who have similar interests, I don't have any friends at all, only my boyfriend, it would be nice to make some friends with similar interests.

LP's and 12" Extended Mixes on Vinyl

That's awesome Emma. Do you have a favourite?

It would be way too hard to choose a favourite! But I do have a Death Star that was pretty fun to build, and a Taj Mahal that's kind of impressive. Oh, and I recently bought a Ghostbusters Firehouse which is pretty cool!
