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.

LOL... Bryce, watch out or you will be finding that item(s) you "squirrel away" for yourself... Will suddenly "grow legs" and end up in your Better Half's Collection...

Just ask, Kevin F.... 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.
