Collector happy as a pig in a pen 07 Nov 2007

Her collection spans from stuffed animals to pot holders to magnets… and even more items.

Since a teenager, Bieber has been collecting pig ornaments. Although she does not have a favourite, a stuffed pig she received from her grandson about 10 years ago does occupy an important spot over her computer monitor.

Bieber was delighted to lend her collection to the museum as "it gave me an opportunity to advertise the museum to family and friends," she said.
