I have got about 8 pieces of Swarovski, mostly birds. My favourite is the birdbath with a bird on the side of it.

I also have a few Lilliput Lane houses.

I seem to stop collecting same type items before they reach big numbers. No room for them, to hard to pack up when moving house, not sure..but I tend to think I have enough of them now.

I collect Swarovski crystal, I have been collecting it for 29 years, my OH (was my fiance then) bought me the swan for my birthday and I have been hooked ever since.  The last time I catalogued my collection I had 501 pieces.

 

My favourits are the cats, birds and lovlots, I have about 100 in my cabinets in the house, the rest are in their boxes downstairs in the garage, once a year I clean out the cabinets and rotate the crystal.


Wow the sparkle in your cabinets must be amazing mainecoon do you have special lighting for them?..I love Swarovski crystal but a bit costly for meSmiley Sad

She came from Nevada, I just checked the seller....bugger, I haven't brought any for awhile, now I feel the urge. It got way out of control for a bit. After it became obvious there wasn't any room left for any more, Mr Boris declared (Woman LOL ) that I had to stop or at least slow down . Laughing (slightly hysterically) I told him, sure, just after the 160 that were on there way arrived.Woman LOL
