4766I guess I am late in answering. I collect sterling flatware , pattern Strasbourg by Gorham. I am afraid I have not added a piece in several years because the inflated prices to sterling. I guess this will be given to my granddaughters some day. The pattern is an old one and I love the old Victorian unusual pieces. Kay

4061What don't I collect? Dust bunnies dirt in the house is probably number one. Quilt fabric, antique dolls, stray cats, beads, fusible glass, cookbooks, etc, etc, etc.
6574I must be a real hoarder. I collect everything you all do, plus wicker baskets, all sizes and shapes. I have a limited amount of pantry space, so I display my food jars in a decorative fashion in the baskets in a bookcase. They actually look very tastefully done. I also collect plants in every size, shape and form. I have over 200 of them. My sewing room has wall to wall, floor to ceiling displays of sewing/embroidery notions, arts and crafts display. I have a collection of 34 scissors too. WOW!!! I'm having a big yard sale this spring.
Enjoy your collections ladies. Rachel

I have 2 knitting machines, 3 sewing machines, 1 embroidery machine, 1 Accuquit go machine and a serger. The last 2 are still in the box. I live in a 5th wheel and don't have room to set them up. I hope to move into a large one bedroom apartment so I could set them all up and use. I also have a cricuit too.

Designs only take up digital space, not physical space, so they don't count!
299557well ladies thank to everyone for sharing I didn't say what I collect sew here goes: I collect spoons from all over the world, I don't have very many but when people go away sometmes they bring one back for me! I collect china tea cups & saucers! Love them & I collect different flavors of tea yep I said tea. I have probably about 24 different flavors, & I do drink them LOL!
299557Material and patterns, I am trying very hard this year to not buy any material. So far I have succeeded in buying less, lol. Well at least I'm closer to my goal of not buying any, but so far I can't seem to walk away from a pretty piece of fabric begging me to take it home. Such a shame since I have somewhere around 30 plus bins of fabric aready. Yes I am addicted to collecting fabric, a true fabraholic, lol!

I have gained a number of these from my late mother. (I think he is really collecting them) We also have quite a lot of Japanese stuff/junk in the house too. I am also collecting/storing loads of my older daughters stuff as she has no room for keeping it...

I like them too, especially if they are from all over the country, that way the recipes are different. Cookbook collecting sounds weird, but cookbooks are pretty neat!

5749210852I have collected Christmas mice for 40 years. I have a large collection of wool fiber. I love to spin. But my largest collection is stuffed animals. Any child who visits can play with them. Charla

Didn't think anyone else would collect mice, but I have done so for over 30 years - requirements are small & cute, have over 150 for the Christmas tree alone, plus hundreds more for each of the seasons. Use to be fabric but this past year have given away 30 years of collecting to any charity willing to make something out of it. I found that as a fabricholic that whenever you decide to make something you go buy the fabric not use the stuff in the wonderful stash.

14208I have a love for English china and have collected various pieces over the years. I now find that they just collect dust and I am sure that my children and their children will not want them. So these days I will just stick to embroidery designs. Sarah
253107I used to collect cat figurines, but after years of dusting the stuff, I have since lightened my load by boxing alot up and just have a few in small wall curios....lot less dusting..YEA!!
