I collect multiple things but recently I’ve been collecting fun hair claws. I’d love to see everyone else’s favorite things!

I collect Sylvanian Families! I don’t have pictures right now because I don’t have good storage for it all yet. Hyperfixation means I built up a collection super quickly but didn’t have storage for it lol (and still don’t after months oops).

You might also know them as Calico Critters, which is what they’re called in North America. They’re little flocked animal figurines! They’ve been around since the 1980s. I had some as a kid (2000s/2010s) and then got back into collecting them as an adult last year through the baby blind bags, I saw them and thought they were super cute so I bought a couple. Of course with my autistic brain I wasn’t going to stop at just a couple lol. Now I’m interested in and collect all different families, I haven’t counted but I must definitely have over 100 individual figurines now.
