I collect Coloured Glass, any colour, any shape, it looks lovely all over the house, until it comes to cleaning it, then I don't think its so lovely.

I used to but don't now. Have quite a few pieces of Wedgwood Countryware (plain white with a sort of cabbage leaf edge) currently on a dresser. I also have a small collection of 'Motto Ware' - cream/brown pottery from 20s/30s with patterns and little ditties.

Best idea for collecting Autographs is to make sure they,re on a Cheque. :-D
