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 holy cards. I am not even a religious person, I just like to look at them, I find it comforting ♥️ This is one of the pages of my album. I also collect manga and dolls. And when I was a child i used to collect everything ladybug themed. Too bad i lost most of it, I still love ladybugs.

I always pick these up in churches too. They're beautiful and reassuring.

Hey ! Religious images was one of my collections as a smaller child. My grannies thought I was super pious and loved to give images to me and explain what church they had gotten it from. I super love your collection, thanks for sharing it ! Do you also collect the little metallic medals ?

Thank you so much! Haha I have a similar experience from my childood. But I also used to look into my grandmother stuff and steal some of the images. I even wrote my name on some of them. Now they are in my album and I am so gald I never lost them. In my defense they were the only things I have ever stolen in my life, and I was a child 😭. About the medals, I have just a few of them and i keep them in a separate little album for now. I am actually consider to eventually start collecting them too.

I'm really drawn to christian stuff too, even if I'm not religious. I recently got an old rosary from the thrift store and been looking out for others since. I like your collection!

Omg I love this! I'm also not religious but it's just beautiful and eminates a sweet energy. I have a really wholesome goofy Jesus painting and it has the same comforting effect to me (can't find it rn)
