I started reading this thread and have to laugh at myself. For a while I kept going: "i have that, I have those, I keep those, I love those...."
then somebody mentioned whether you have these things on display or use them.
Except for nicknacks and pictures, I use all of my stuff.
here are some of what I guess I hoard, but use, lol:
-quilting and craft magazines
-home decorting mags, esp. romantic homes, and holiday issues
-all kinds of sewing notions, threads, fabrics, pin...i have appl. pins, reg. -ss pins, colored head pins, long ones, short one, medium ones
-safety pins...and the curved quilting safety pins
-you name it, if it is for quilting I keep it
-acrylic paints
-embroidery flosses
-silk ribbon for embroider, but don't have a lot yet
-aida cloth
-books, books, books
-kids storybooks
