We try to post stories and comments from our readers each week. Send your
story to newsletter@tias.com and we'll publish it in an upcoming newsletter. 
Please share your story about what you collect and what got you started
collecting.  We *love* to hear your stories!  If you have a story you'd like
to share, tell us about it and if you have any photos, we'd love to see them! 
Send us an email to newsletter@tias.com so we can share your story with the
rest of our readers.

If you have photos of items you would like to share you can post them there as
well.  You don't need a Facebook account to visit our page. If you do have a
facebook account please "Like" us!

Also, everyday, we post a "This Date In History" story on our Facebook page,
along with an item for sale on http://www.tias.com that relates to the event. 
We're also highlighting one item each day that we find particularly
interesting - something that's very unusual!  Check it out!

Thanks to those of you who have responded in the past! We really enjoy, and
appreciate, the feedback!

It's always fun to see what other people own and treasure! Although we can't
put the pictures in this newsletter, please visit our Facebook page to view
the images and learn about those items.

Please let us know if you'd like us to highlight one of your favorite
collectibles!

What's the weirdest thing you've ever collected? One reader sent in this email:

"Years ago, in a dusty corner of an antique store, I found a little box filled
with sealed vials of water.  They were made in such a way that they were
opened by snapping off the tip of the glass.  I could never figure out what
they were used for, except perhaps for medical use because the water would
(hopefully) be sterile.  I sold them online to someone who worked for the show
"Carniv+ále" that was on HBO a few years ago.  They were going to use them on
the set.  I never got to see the episode personally, but I thought it was neat
that they found a home there!"
