I have 3 things that I collect.
My OLDEST long time collection is of amber
glass. I have MANY pieces (use to be larger
15 yrs ago) It all started when I bought some
oil lamps from my best friend when she and
her husband was moving to Michigan. I started
collecting it from 1980.
Next is my collection of coffee mugs, I collect them
from each of the States, as well as from around the
world when friends or family travel. Since I am afraid
to travel outside the U.S. this is my one way to do
the traveling I use to dream about when I was young.
My last collection of course if fabric, I have been collecting
it since 2006 when I started quilting, prior to that I only
bought 1/4-1/2 yard pieces of fabric.
