Collect them all

Do you love collecting? Do you consider yourself a collector too? I know you do, everyone of us have this particular item we love to collect either coins, bags, shoes, books and so many more collectibles items. I remember back when I was college, I love collecting tissue or table napkin from any food chains or restaurants I went to. Unfortunately it was gone because I need to move from one place to another when I started working. Of course I was sad because of that, I tried collecting again but later on I lost interest on it.

Fridge Magnets

I got interested again on collecting things because of my husband. Since he was working on a ship overseas, he got the chance to visit different places and countries. He wants something as a remembrance from that particular place that’s why he started collecting fridge magnets. He travelled a lot in so many countries, perks of working in a cruise ships. I think his first travel destination was in caribbean countries, back when we were still boyfriend and girlfriend. That was more than a decade ago too. He mentioned to me that there was so many great islands over there.

I can’t exactly remember now how many countries he’s been to. But during his first years, he stayed in North America for quite sometime because most of the cruise ships were there. Then next stop, he went to mediterranean sea. Oh he’s been to Europe too, luckily he got the chance to be at Vatican. He actually bought some rosary there, and when he got home he gave it to some of his relatives. Of course, he wouldn’t miss the fridge magnets. I can say that the fridge magnets from other countries were pretty awesome, just that some can easily be broken if dropped that’s why you have to handle it with care.

Plate Display

When he got in Asia, aside from fridge magnets which was very common there, he also bought some plate display which was pretty nice too. It comes in different sizes, designs and also good to give to someone as present too. He never missed to bought one from every country he visited in Asia. He even asked me for what designs were good because he was talking to me while he was buying it. So yeah, I was able to have a virtual tour too while my husband was roaming in every country. They have limited time so he makes sure to buy any remembrance from that country.

Paper Bills

Another addition to his collections were paper bills from different countries . We put it in a frame and hanged in on the wall. He actually got it from some of his co-workers and some were tips from guests. There were times, specially when I am out of money I can’t helped but to think of converting some of it, but then upon checking it’s price on the foreign exchange site I changed my mind instantly. I guess it would be better if it just stayed on the wall. 😅 Need I say more? I think you knew the answer.

Oh by the way my son’s is fond of collecting too. He likes to build a lot that’s why he loves his lego a lot that even at his age, he still keeps on building. And just yesterday, I saw him playing his robot friends. He has this thing for building since he’d like to be an engineer someday according to him. This robots were really hard to build, one missed step from the instructions manual and you’re going to start all over again.

Closing Thoughts

We all have different interests and likes in life. So does collections. Probably some were having fun now collecting different cryptocurrency while I’d like to have that too one day, I better stick with our bch first. I believe there’s so much more I need to learn before I venture with others. Our collection doesn’t cost that much and it’s also cheap compare to what others collects, but you know the joy it gives everytime there is an addition to it was just fulfilling. I hope we can add more to it in the future.

Are you fond of collecting too? Well you can share it by writing down a comment below. You can talk about it too, and I would really appreciate it if you do. This is my entry for today. This was supposed to be published yesterday but because I have so many crafts to be done, I wasn’t able to make it.
