let's see...in varying degrees....
plants (many were in macrame hangers that I made ), decorative candles that I made (some of which were sand), ceramic dogs, Nancy Drew books, Ron Lee Clowns, advertising characters (The Wizzard of Oh's, Poppin' Fresh, Poppie, etc., the Sprite Lymon, Big Boy, the M&M guys, etc., etc.), Budweiser Christmas mugs
Now it's Nevada casino stuff, we started with ashtrays, then added chips and postcards....now it's almost anything with a Nevada casino name on it . I think this one is a "keeper"...since there's not only the items that we collect, there's a lot of great history and people connected with the hobby. The collection will never be "complete", it will never be just like someone else's collection, there will always be more books and newspapers to read.
The very best thing about it is that it's something that interests me AND my husband...so we hunt items together, and when one of us finds something great, it's really exciting for both of us! Several times we've had dealers comment that they wished their spouses shared their interests. Ah, yes, life is good.....
