Curious to hear from all you to see if your wife or significant other have a collection of their own?

My wife didn't, but then after going to so many shows, she has now started to collect the little upper lube & valve lube cans...

Thank god mine only has about 2 dozen ceramic roosters.
I hope she does not start collecting anything more or we will have to start armwrestling for the funds for my hobby.
I think we know who is going to win that.LOL.

Yeah, nice cars and jewellery. Every so often she reminds that it's time for another purchase. She has mentioned a new kitchen a few times...I see a renovation in the near future.

My wife collects the information on how much I spend at auctions then tries to rationalize why she should spend an equal amount on shopping trips and day spas.

yes, Laundry.

She doesn't have her own specifically but the Kitchen collection is "ours", and she does pilfer cool items now and then from my stash to decorate her areas.

My wife used to collect Nascar die casts...She had tons. I made her some real nice shelves to display them on. One day a neighbor lady came over and told her.. "I would never let my husband have these in the house" Lol.. The wife said..."Those are mine!"

My wife has an extensive collection of Little Red Riding Hood Hull pottery ( 300+ pieces ). I actually enjoy looking for her, because I know she is always looking for petro items for me: In fact, she actually bought my first pump for me, and found the next two.


Always looking for Standard Oil of Indiana, or any globes!

Yeah my wife's collection is the rest of the house, and coach purses. I swear I can spot a coach bag from a mile away and I'm not proud to say that.

I think your wife and mine are telepathically communicating!
That said Bev is willing to go for the ride and question whether the item I am looking at is a repro. It is good to have a doubting, cynical partner, keeps you on your toes. She did say she likes the globes-so I think she's relenting/accepting!

She only appreciates my stuff when someone other than me expresses an interest in it, then she gets all proud of "our" collection. When we're alone it's "my s**t".

She has tons of Waterford Christmas ornaments at $20-$40 or more a pop. Not the crystal type, but the figurines and such. And she has to have 50-75 or so of them. And she collects mid-century glass bowls. Those for the most part, seem to come pretty cheap. But her addictions are minor league compared to my oil & gas addiction.
I have to say, I get a little kick out of each of her collections. Some of the stuff is pretty nice.
