Fun Collectables: Owls, Pineapples and Skeletons

I have a few fun items I collect. The harder it is to find something, the more fun it is to "collect" it.  When I started collecting OWLS years ago they were few and far between. In the past couple years they are EVERYWHERE! I was even able to decorate my daughter's room with owls with no problem finding coordinating items.
 Here are some fun finds I found....

PINEAPPLES



I love pineapples and began collecting them about 5 years ago.  It all started at The Phoenix (http://www.thephoenixrising.com/) , a wedding venue in Weimer, TX.  This beautiful place had random, unique pineapples throughout. After speaking with the owners- they told me that pineapple things were fairly hard to find and it had become sort of a hobby for them to find beautiful decor with pineapples on it.....SO I thought I'd give it a try too!!

What do you collect??
 Does the item being rare or hard to find make it more special to you??
