It's always interesting to hear about what kind of stuff people have laying around! In Hoarder Tales, The Merchant Guild of Koguryo wants to hear about your special collections.  What are some of the things you have hidden away, how did you come to acquire them, what do you "do" with your collection?
Each week, participants will write about a particular collection of items they themselves might have, or know someone who has.
       	=======This week's theme is...========
