Angels have long been a favorite collectible, especially for women collectors.  My first introduction to collectibles was made through my precious Mother who collected angels which I inherited upon her death.  From there I began adding to that collection with my own angels - mostly given to me by friends and family.

Perhaps it stems from the Bible verse Psalms 91:11 "For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways", because  from angel babies to guardian angels, the symbolism of an angel is something that brings me comfort and joy..
