I like Gummy Bears. But moreso, I like my Bear collection. By bear collection I mean Teddy Bear collection with very few accents of other types of bears.
Yes, I have a teddy bear collection. Does that make me odd? Probably, but I love them, and always have. I have over 100 now, and my favorite so far is a Vermont Teddy Bear Company Panda that Nick gave me for my birthday two years ago, and I named Pasqual. But the collection has been going on for years. I not only collect Teddy bears, but I also collect a series called Cherished Teddies which I think are now discontinued. I find that by sticking to a staple trend like the teddy bear I am more apt to get something normal than when my sister started to like frogs. There are a lot of weird frog trinkets out there and I think she had had enough after a year or two. Speaking of which, this year my poor sister might have to deal with a rather obnoxious birdbath that has frogs sunbathing and swimming. It's not completely gaudy but I think she will find a nice place to hide it if we get it for her.
I think that is my favorite part about collections. There are tons of different things that people collect and a billion different ways to ruin that collection for them. Not that I do it on purpose, but sometimes you can't resist getting something (like flamingos that you dress up year round that we gave my aunt who likes flamingos) if someone collects them. My grandmother does it, and now I think I do too. Here is to spicing up your collections! Also, here is a picture of Pasqual, my panda bear and the awesome lamp I may sometime get to spice up my collection!
