Plenty! Porcelain dolls, fairies, dragons, unicorns, books, medieval/Victorian themed costumes, scarves, etc. I am a pack rat.

I also love multi-media & Book Arts! i also collect money & coins from around the world and am in the process of designing my own artist trade currency ( a new form of indie DIY fun exchange) and will trade it for yummy things like organic vegies, chinese herbs, indie made clothes, films, music, books, dances and cool events, medical-dental care, ph cards, living and studio space
