Well, after a number of queries I figured I would share some pics to show my collection (hehehe - obsession) that is slowly taking over my house.

There are lots more scattered everywhere - in the house there are 1174 pieces, plus more on my desk at work and in my car.

I like that star tortoise in the last pic. It almost looks real.

HOLY **** I'm not even sure obsession is the correct term. With all the buying etc, how many, if you could possibly know:D, how many did you buy or get that you then already had?

Luckily I only have about 10 "twins" and they weren't from me buying, they were from people giving me for presents.

Yes I have someone who does it, she is fantastic - but still rolls her eyes when new additions appear.

Great Googly Moogly! That looks like the collection that will take over your house one day... and yeah, once your friends know you collect things you will never get any other kind of gift!

Kanalomele.... That happened a long time ago. I have pieces from so many strange places around the world, cos people go on holidays and always know what to bring me for a souvenir....

The biggest problem I have - is - that next year I am going to the Galapagos and will be taking as little as I can, cos I know I will be BUYING LOTS more pieces there.
