In 1987, when to me was not executed yet of ten years, the mum has purchased to me a calendar the next year with a nice dog. By the way, due to this calendar, not only mine has appeared hobby, but I have learned to draw, as many times copied a picture (those years our family lived in Primorsky kray). The mum occasionally purchased to me a calendar, as these small cards with cheerful pictures very much have liked to me, and I began them to collect them. Yes, yes to collect, as in that time we, I and my girlfriends, collected all the contract. So, except for calendars, I collected cards, wrapper from sweets, the marks, tags, match labels (hardly later even labels from bottles with lemonade (removed which one steeping a bottle) and spirituous (someone from the friends has given me the whole autopodium of new labels from bottles from under fault and vodka). From all this diversity of children's collections remained only wrapper from sweets, and the remaining small children's collections lie in rectangular approach traffic patterns, resembling about childhood.
The time on the sly went, but the entrainment severe yet was not, though the collection filled up. My parents purchased the calendars to me, and I varied with the girlfriends. And one of the girlfriends always exchange made together with the mum, which one, as now it seems, was the collector. She had huge box, where the calendars lied in separate envelopes analyzed on years and subjects. (At this time we lived in Crimea).
The largest updating of a collection in childhood descended then, when we went in holiday. There is enough often we flied to Tadjikistan, where in that time lived my grandmother and grandfather. The airplane did landing in of Mineral Waters. In an airport there was a wonderful rack, where is a lot of calendars - pouring, volumetric and "smooth" was sold, as I called them then. Circulation of such calendars was large, and they are for many collectors. So there was a time, and on the sly collection filled up.
Then, when the student's years have begun, the updating was extremely sluggish - some pieces annually at that random. I did not know other collectors absolutely, to vary there was nobody, and in sale there were not so many calendars. (the Student's years have passed basically in Vladivostok).
When I began to work (Now I live in Saratov), in sale already has appeared more views of calendars, and I occasionally purchased them. The main time of purchases - since October till January. Then, when I have married, in updating of a collection to me began to help my husband. But still there was nobody, with whom it was possible to vary. The computer and Internet - has appeared and I have found the adherents. The collection began to grow notably faster, and in the beginning of this year (2004) she has grown twice, due to my husband, which one has made to me a gift, when has purchased a large collection of calendars.
