Random collections

I am currently reading a book called, "I Was Told There'd Be Cake", by Sloane Crosley.  It is freaking hilarious.  She opens the book with an essay about how she embarrassingly collects ponies. With all of her ex-boyfriends, she has requested that they buy her a pony, and so she has plastic ponies from all of them stashed in her kitchen cabinet.  Today on Facebook, I saw a post about what moms collect. I feel like I collect nothing interesting. I used to collect books and home interior dolls.  But then when you move 500 times,  you realize you want to live a more minimalist lifestyle. I kind of collect Willow Tree statues, but I'm not too crazy. I check books out from the library now. Anyway, I've made a list of interesting things people like to collect:

1. Pyrex
2. Disney plush dolls
3. cloth diapers  (you would not believe the amount of money these crazy mamas will pay for diapers!)
4. Custom fabrics (PUL knits) "Toothless" print seems to be the bees knees. (?)
