Collecting

I've been on a collecting habit for awhile. I love to find things from my childhood. I collect Nancy Drew books, She-ra figures, Vinyl records, 80's toys and lately Barbie. I have been collecting the Nancy Drew books for probably almost 10 years. Out of the 56 books I only have 5 more until the collection is complete. I started out with the yellow series but then the more I researched I saw that the books have been revised and shortened over the past 70 years. Words have been changed and stuff that is offensive to certain races has been removed. I decided I wanted to start finding the older books which are either dark blue with orange or blue tweed. Luckily I love antique stores, thrift shops and flea markets. I have found some really good editions. Plus thankfully there is Ebay to make it easier. Here is a picture of my collection.

After number 38 they were only printed in yellow. I have a few that I want replaced so I need to find those.

I loved these books as a child and started collecting them so that one day if I had a daughter she would have the entire collection at her fingertips. Since I had a little girl in January she will inherit this from me when she is old enough.
