Why do people collect things…

Most people collect and display something in their lives.

It might be a collection of family snaps stuck into an album, or holiday souvenirs arranged on a mantelpiece,assembled and displayed without any thought of being a "collector".

Other people form collections for a specific purpose: old masters for investment or memories "collected" on tape to preserve a changing way of life….

Over the years I have collected many things including 16 years worth of first day cover stamps.

BUT tell me, why did I collect and keep all the baby teeth from my two boys……
