September Listography | No. Twenty-Six

 

I collect things…
…and even when I stop receiving them as gifts or picking up new items on my own, I still like to keep them around.
 

TRAVEL-THEMED TCHOTCHKES

 
 

MOVIE ACTION FIGURES
in this photo, clockwise from top left: Lord of the Rings Legolas, Faramir, Eowyn, Pippin, and Faramir; aliens from Roswell, New Mexico (the large one even glows in the dark!); Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Easterlings from Lord of the Rings; Zam Wesell and Luminara Unduli from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (my favorite minor characters)

 
 

DVDs of the movies and TV series I liked well enough to watch again through the years

 
 

BASEBALL-THEMED ITEMS, including MLB team caps and trading cards (not shown)

 
 

LIGHTHOUSES, including a handmade quilt that I received from a family friend upon graduation from college (click to enlarge image)

 
 

MOVIE TICKET STUBS, currently in a film canister from the TV series Numb3rs

 
 

MAGNETS, my latest budding collection

 
 

BOOKS, which will diminish slightly when I acquire a Kindle but will never go away entirely

 
 

TOYS with specific meaning to me or to the kids
in this photo you will find a lion named Leo; Sebastian from The Little Mermaid which was acquired at a Disney On Ice event; a Chicago Cubs teddy bear figurine; a stress ball in the form of a globe which also features a missing piece where the first boy took a bite at the age of two; a water globe from Chicago featuring a saxophone-playing Mickey Mouse; Sleepless in Seattle playing cards from Seattle itself; Thing 2 and Thing 1; an Aflac duckling; a candy dispenser featuring two M&Ms in cinema seats with 3-D glasses and a popcorn bucket that receives the candy; plus my favorite Sonic tots
