Honestly? These things. But I'm tiring of it now and I'd rather not collect things. Although maybe shoes, because I suppose I'll use them.

I just took them all out for fun one day. Normally they're put together and my desk goes back to being functional.

Prismacolor pens and markers. I buy a lot of individual ones instead of sets.
I collect makeup. A considerable amount in eyeliners that I don't use.
And I collect perfume samples. I will try to spray them dry long after they've been used up.

This list might look like a lot of belongings - but I decorate in 'collections'. I've just listed most of what I own. For example, the only accessories in the kitchen and adjoining family room are marble and the rooms actually are quite sparse in decor. The artwork for the family room is the collection of Ansel Adams' black & white matted prints displayed on glass shelves.
