Aha! Finally I got around to getting these pictures up and on the computer!
I collect Oriental (Asian (Chinese/Japanese)) items. Mine & Will's bedroom is Asian themed. Here's what I have (for the most part):
Main soapstone shelf (in hallway outside of bedroom)
More soapstone carvings on top of TV (and bamboo-style candle holder!)
Mini-soapstone carving shelf. This one has my Chinese zodiac figures on it. There are a few toss-ins, too, but they are mostly the zodiac.
Wall hangings/plaques. I have two more that still need to be hung up.
Wall scroll 1/3 (mountain waterfall).
Wall scroll 2/3 (birds)
Wall scroll 3/3 (koi)
Giant flippin' fan above the bed. The bed is a full-size, and you can see the bedposts. It gives you an idea of how big it is lol
I also have a panda wall calendar (2007 was Buddha), some Asian-ish lamps, candle holders, dragon incense burner, Terra-cotta dude, bamboo print quilt, and all sorts of other little items scattered around the house (ginger jars, etc.). I also am helping my mum expand her Japanese "hina" doll collection (from the Girl's Day Festival in Japan). They will be my collection someday, anyways. My sisters HATE Asian dolls. I love them. Most of them are from the Meiji period (late 1800's-1912). I also am starting a collection of netsuke beads.
My other collections (from the past) are Breyer model-horses, Swarovskii crystal figures, dolls (thanks, mom *eyeroll*), and other random collectibles.
