Collecting ideas

[Bellefan]

Hi All,
I've a spare shelf on my bookcase which I think is crying out for a collection of some kind (my husband thinks differently...).
Here's my criteria...

1) Can't be viewed as toys (the children will want them)

2) Can't be too fragile (the cats often sit on the shelf)

Is Vinylmation still going?

Any other ideas will be gratefully appreciated...Something I can pick up in the parks and also look out for once home in the UK..

I just decided that I deserve a little hobby...
