Back when I was in school, we could earn marbles by completing our works and that was how I got these marbles. Even now, I keep it with me. Other than marbles, I also used to collect stickers and stamps.
๐Ÿ˜„ Thank you for sharing your collection.
That's a good way to earn marbles: do work in exchange for marbles.
When I was little we used to have many marbles, they're so round, smooth to play with. But slowly, they got lost and I forgot all about them. When I read your comment, I recall that I used to have them as well.๐Ÿ”ฎ(that's as close to a marble emoji I could find)

I like to collect notebooks or journals with different cover designs. There was a time when I used to collect keychains. I don't do that anymore, but as a teenager, I had a huge collection keychains. I used to collect them whenever I went to any new place and found a shop. I loved how great and unique designs and styles were out there.

the one collection I have ceremoniously preserved is the Lord of the Rings books. I have managed to keep them in mint condition despite how many of my other books do not fair well.

When I was little, I also collected glass balls like Donny, and I still have them. I wish I would have continued. But in the present, I am an avid collector of ceramic mugs, especially Japanese tea sets.

Labels or barcodes that contain the particular number that I like.

Coins that I get.
Cool. Do feathers go bad like flowers or they'll stay like when you first found them?
I haven't kept any feathers but I like crow feathers, their shine and sleek texture is lovely, and peacock feather's, they have good colors on them.
No, they are not damaged. The feathers are perfectly preserved as long as you don't get them wet and don't touch them too much.

I think seashells collections are so pretty but I move so often and transportation can be tricky. But I also enjoy finding them on the beach!

When I was younger I loved collecting different types of glasses especially wine glasses and colored glasses. But I don't anymore as I had to give loads away due to space hehe

When I was younger, I used to have a collection of sea shells. I absolutely loved searching for and collecting them every time we went to the beach. I would then paint them in many different colours using poster colours. Thanks for this question; it really took me down memory lane!

The beauty of collecting is that it allows us to curate something unique and meaningful to us. It can bring joy, nostalgia, and a sense of connection to the things we gather. It's also a way to express our individual interests and passions. Yes I do collect qotrd

Coming to think of a special collection I have, I would say books...mostly ebooks nowadays.
