I was curious as to what everyone out there collects in addition to all of Hayley's CD's/DVD'S. Do you try to collect every version of a cd or are you content with the release for your country? What exactly is out there to collect?
Myself, I've started with Celtic Treasure, Pure and Odyssey and have managed to find Hayley Westenra and My Gift To You.
As far as non-music items, I just received in the mail a Hayley Westenra Live Concert 2004 Tour Flyer for Pure and am waiting for her stunning Celtic Woman photo as well as her book, the Odyssey Tour Programme and a Walking In The Air Poster (all from hayleystore.com).

Hi Chris, I tend to purchase several versions of artists' CD's. Released made available in different countries offer different track listings, album covers, etc. You already have a wonderful list of Hayley items...glad that you've ordered from Hayley's Store. Did you take a good look at the signature on both your package and shipping tube's custom declaration label??  I've tallied what I've spent on purchasing Hayley's music, concert tickets, mailing costs, etc....about $800. Some of us maintain a "Hayley Collections" post. Read to see what's in my collection...click HERE. Also read what some of my fellow members have in their collections. |

Hello again Chris Some of us go a little mad when it comes to Hayley collectibles, others are more refined - I'm afraid I'm one of the former  There are usually many different versions of CD's. Some with different covers or inserts, others with additional tracks. For instance, I have UK; US, Asia; Japan and (on its way) Taiwan releases of Treasure/Celtic Treasure. There are also promotional CD's, magazine and newspaper articles, photographs. Even pillowcases! (Haven't got one of those yet)  Incidentally, Joe's comment about the label on your purchases from Hayleystore? If the signature is "GW" then it's almost certainly Gerald Westenra, Hayley's dad. Check the postmark too, it may be Fendalton (where Hayley went to school) or Barrington. Best wishes Grant |

Small mono print on a white pillowcase. Quite a cute picture though - looks as though Hayley was about 16. Anyone out there prepared to admit they bought one? Incidentally, I just bought the Japanese version of Pure from a guy in Honolulu for a fiver!!  Best wishes Grant |

Check the postmark too, it may be Fendalton (where Hayley went to school) or Barrington. I'll be sure to look out for that when the packages arrive. I'm still waiting for them to arrive. (Quite a distance to Canada I suppose.) |

The collections are incredible! I have a ways to go to get collections like the ones I've just seen (although certain items like programs are out of my reach). But I guess I have to start somewhere. (And it will be worth every penny!!) |

She'll be tired & will most likely have a lie down after she's greeted the doggies & possibly me. She lies down & glances over to my side of the bed & notices something different.....whats that? I don't remember that pillow. Thats a girls face on it....thats Hayley...what the...!!!!!.......... GRAAAAEEEEME!!!!You can guess the rest. Graeme |

Sounds like you are quickly catching up on Hayley memorabilia, Everit. I am sure you will love the book when you receive it. you will hardly be able to puit it down. It is a fascinating read learning that even for her it wasn''t a smooth ride and chance entered the arena at least twice for her to get this far.

Yes, I am really looking forward to receiving the book. It should prove to be an excellent read. (I'm also waiting to receive Hayley's "Walking In The Air" poster as well as her Odyssey Tour Program.) For some reason, I just realized I neglected to order the "Odyssey" photo...must correct that.
I've now turned my attention to tracking down as many versions of her CD's as I can...I didn't realize there were so many different versions. So far, I've managed to purchase Hayley Westenra, My Gift To You, Odyssey-UK Special Edition, Pure-UK Special Edition and two versions of Treasure (Taiwan & Canada). Can't wait to receive them.
