30 People Shared Their Strangely Unique Collections
People really do have such different interests!
Everyone has a different hobby and interest. Among those are people who love collecting things as their hobby or side-hobby. Like the golfer who loves collecting broken ‘ugly’ balls that have their own little stories to tell. Those who love to go to the beach don’t only collect seashells, but also sea glass and shark teeth (did you know sharks shed their teeth regularly?).
It is interesting how people of various backgrounds grow up and come to love things in ways we won’t ever understand. There is a man out there who’s particularly interested in ‘lost varieties’ of apples. Someone out there just inherited his grandfather’s proud collection of antique pencil sharpeners. A woman is relaxing in her backyard, her collection of birdhouses proudly becoming the home of hundreds of birds.
Is collecting your hobby? Keep doing it! Who knows one day it’ll reach the hall of fame of the internet and become a proud heirloom your family can show-off in the future?
