Collections

Some people like to collect things.  I collect elephants, as if I had to tell you guys that.  Right now, I have about 300 of them, I think.  I'll have to do a count one of these days to find out for sure.  I have heard of people who collect thimbles, bells, and other types of figurines. 

One thing I think would be fun to collect are beer steins.  I went online and found this really cool castle one, and I love it.  It is unique, isn't it?  I bet there are thousands of different types and designs, too.  I bet people who travel the world can find different designs in different places.  I bet Germany has some pretty awesome ones. 

I also found beer glass steins, and they are beautiful.. The designs that they etch into the glass can be so intricate.  You know what would be really cool?  Finding a glass beer stein with an elephant etched into it.  I would definitely make that a part of my collection.
