I collect children's fairy tale books. And I love anything that makes
me smile. One year for Christmas I bought my Mom a silly looking
moose. She never really said anything about it. After a few months
she said "Did you give me that Moose" I said "yup, Mom, I did."
And she said "Every time I pass it on my way to the kitchen, I smile."

It doesn't get any better than that!!!!!

I have happy things all over the house - things that make me smile.

I'm a sewing hoarder. I collect sewing machines (8 at the moment, but 2 are vintage singers, 2 sergers and an embroidery machine), books, books and more books, ditto with patterns ( garment, quilting and accesory type projects), rulers and all kinds of sewing/quilting notions and gadgets.

Hoarding hugs,
Lyn
