I use to collect a lot of things but since I lost everything in a fire a couple of years ago I am pretty selective about collecting stuff. I only collect things that "talk" to me...I'm crazy that way, lol! I have to really want it. And I don't buy it, unless I know exactly where I'm gonna put it when I get it home. So, right now, I'm collecting Civil War Repro fabric (for a quilt for ME) and I collect Byers Choice Caroller Christmas dolls to represent members of my family...well, ok...I guess you could say I have been collecting Christmas tree ornaments too! I can't get enough of them!! (Santas, snowmen, glass, crystal & sparkly things...I have it bad!)
