Koffla's "How it happened" blog got me to thinking and wondering if there are others who own unusual amounts of 'stuff.'

I used to collect frogs in ornaments of every size and description. I think my frog fetish goes back to when I was a child and we used to play with them. We had a couple of ponds where I lived on the farm. In the spring when the ice melted on these ponds the frogs were very vocal and it was also their mating season. But I have since got rid of my collection of frogs as they were nothing but dust collectors and they were a pain to keep clean.

I have the black Kitchen-Aid mixer, so you guest it, black accessories to match it, but only two spatulas.

Are 5 guitars too many? Maybe for some people, but I use each guitar for different types of music.

I know!! I have too much horse tack!! Halters, lead ropes, blankets, saddle pads and saddles. I need to sell all that stuff, I don't own 8 horses anymore, just two.

Clothes? Oh yes, I have lots of those too! My girls give me clothes and it seems I never wear them. They end up going to my local food bank who also give clothing to the needy.

Greeting cards!!!! All blank inside so that I can write what I want inside whether it's a letter, short note, thank you, happy birthday, thinking of you..... etc. etc.

I can't seem to pass up the beautiful handcrafted ones, or gorgeous ones with photos by local photographers.

I realized last night that I have too many accessories for my GoPro action camera, and Nikon DSLR. I hope not to get into the same addiction with the DJI Mavic drone.

Bags, earring and cushions. Every time I go into a store they are the first things I look at. Mind you I don't always buy but i get great pleasure in looking and admiring them.

Oh, I forgot my collection of souvenir bells from different countries we visited over the years. I love pretty bells.

Maudie after reading your comment I realize I too collect a lot of earrings. Before Christmas I went to a craft fair. They had so many beautiful things there. I ended up coming home with a pair of beautiful earrings. The lady who made them buys from Fair Trade in the Amazon the palm tree nut which is dried and colored and she makes beautiful jewellery from them. Maybe I will do a blog one day and write about them.
