I am the biggest collector of Wizarding World/Harry Potter items. I have over 8000, possibly close to 9000 items and my house is completely immersed in memorabilia. It’s in every corner of my home, shed, attic, you name it. I am so obsessed with Harry Potter that I even named my 2 boys after HP and my cat as well. We even had a Harry Potter wedding. It is my entire life and I love it.
I'm into Irregular choice shoes with over 150 pairs and counting! Had to move to fit them all in, we plan to build my dream shoe room! Been collecting mostly character heels so I have a pair of two for every occasion so I have a good selection. From heels that "rawr" to disco party light up ones, I have loads, still a way to go to as irregular choice are always releasing new exciting goodies. I think my current fave are a Christmas pair that have the nutcracker, and sugar plum fairy on them, and they sing the nutcracker suite! I first became aware of them in 2005, but have been collecting for the last 10 years seriously. I darent think how much the shoes, bags and accessories have all cost... Probably around £28k. But it's all for the joy they bring me and people who comment on them. People know me less as Roxie and more as Crazy shoe lady! (Just some of my collection pictured in boxes!)
I'm a huge Arsenal fan and have been collecting my shirts since the late 90's (wish I had kept all the ones from my childhood). They are all sitting in boxes and I would love to showcase them somehow. I don't know the value off the top of my head, however, it would be well over £3k
Vast collection of Christmas decorations dating back to 1960's, few from 1930's. 40 crates stored in a special loft created above the garage, takes week to put up each year and week to put away. Much publicised in recent years in national media and TV.
