Answer

It means from stamps to shoes. “...des timbres aux chaussures...” is not one word/thing.

Answer

The leisure activity is presumably 'collecting things'. The writer is giving examples of the things that he or she keeps : everything from stamps to shoes (and presumably lots of other things, too).

Answer

I had all the hair colors from blond to brown. Do you understand the meaning?
