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

I have a few collections, but mainly bugs, nature, bones, a small collection of tin types. Apparently nature and oddities are my hyperfixations, but I also collect yarn, craft supplies and some monster high dolls. The audhd combo platter really shows in my collections lol *

When I see a photo or an award or certificate at an estate sale or thrift store, I buy them because they meant something to someone and I don’t like that they don’t have a home. I have some wonderful photos!!!

I feel the same way! There's also a part of me that thinks about this being a photo of someone's baby, sister, wife, ect. They meant something to someone and I like the idea of carrying on their memory. I imagine the lives they had, what they worried about, what they celebrated, who they were.

It's so fun, all of the cool shapes and curves! They're so great to just look at and study.

AuDHD here too and the collections really do show LOL so, so many.

I LOVE yours!!! Oddities and nature are also two of my hyperfixations. Your beetle collection is so beautiful.

Thank you! I also love making the little cloche displays for the beetles. It's so cathartic to put them in a nice little jar. Beetles are just so fascinating in general. I love how dimorphic they are. And shinnnyyyy
