Teddy bears -- I've got around 600, but only keep 2 or 3 dozen out at a time. The rest are kept in bins in the (climate controlled) basement. Also collect antique glass and keep mostly spooners and toothpick holders. Largest collection of all though is Polish pottery. Love the stuff, and use it every day.

Santas and Father Christmas, love them, started because I just seemed to have alot and than people started giving me some. They come out after Halloween and go back into storage in January. I want to make a Santa quilt someday.

Anything and everything - I have a problem! Right now it's vintage sewing machines and DH is patiently waiting for this latest mania to run it's course 'cause it takes up so much room. I use them all (especially the treadles) and thoroughly enjoy each and every one. Other than the space hoggers I also have a weakness for owls, teapots, bears and angels -- not to mention birds, bells and books. I love to haunt garage sales, auctions, estate sales and thrift stores -- they have such treasures! My kids and Grandkids think I'm a bit odd but, you know what? I'm sure happy enjoying it all .................
