The biggest collection in the house is DH's antique telephones. He's been collecting for 30 years. There are about 50 of them in the family room and another 200 or so in his basement workshop. I just started collecting sewing machines this time last year. I've got most of the ones I really want so don't have to have too many more, but do still keep my eye out for a great deal. I have 3 pie safes...enough of them, no room for more. I have a big basket of cookie cutters, many from my mom and a few of grandma's. I do add to that collection from time to time. The grandkids like playing with them and we have great sugar cookies at Christmas. We have a lot of older family pieces of furniture and items that we use every day.
