what (are you collecting?) : stickers!
when (did you start?) : I started my first sticker book in 1984, on my 8th birthday.
how (many do you have?) I have no idea, probably thousands. I have 3+ books full from the 80s.
what (piece would you like to add?) : I love cute Japanese stickers!
what (‘s an interesting story behind one?) : My prized giant hologram My Little Pony sticker was a mail away, I had to save up points to send off for it. I still have it in it's mailer, I haven't ever stuck it to anything.
where (do you find them?) : everywhere! you can buy stickers at pretty much any store, back then there used to be specialty shops that had huge rolls of them you could cut off what you wanted. I loved those places..
where (do you keep them?) : In my sticker books from the 80s, and now they find their way into my scrapbooks/journals.
why (do you love them?) : I love my 80s collection because it is so nostalgic and reminds me of my childhood! it's so colorful and fun.
which (one is your favourite?) & why? : that would be very hard to choose, probably the aforementioned MLP hologram. :)
what (else do you collect?) : I have a large collection of fun pens and pencils from the 80s and 90s, the kind with something stuck on the end, I also collect toys from the 80s: My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, etc. as well as toys from today like Blythe! I think I will never ever grow up.
