My Granddaughter collected pencils. We helped her one year to make display boards for the County Fair. She won second place for Unusual Collections. She had over 500.
I collect Angels, new one each Christmas, but people give me them also. Takes a whole day to get them all out at Christmas. Most are in storage right now. I also collect fountain pens.
I sew, crochet, Swedish Weaving, jewelry making, needlepoint and of course quilting.
