I collect Polish pottery, especially coffee cups. I also have a large collection of dog fur, cat fur and dust bunnies. DH collects John Wayne stuff and unicorn stuff but only if the unicorns look a certain way and never if they are with John Wayne.:)

I have been collecting tea balls or defusers, Civil War items and books, small teddy bear figurines, old who-si-whats-its...especially the cooking utensils nobody knows what they were for...they're fun to bring out and ask older people and stump the younger people. I'm the same as prezzy, my house is full...but fun.

I too collect old hankies. Can you tell me about your handkerchief quilt? I also want to do a bedcover (not really a quilt) from old damask napkins in various pastel colors, using vintage linens for embellishment. Been thinking about it for a long time, and collecting items for it. Need to get started before I am too old to totter out to the sewing room! Good thing it's barrier free...will be able to use a walker when I need one to get out there! ;-)

I have some teapots and cup/saucers, rooster/chickens, willow angels, Jim Shore angels, some cocheted dollies,and now fabric! But not as much fabric as many here have! I have to watch my money more now that Hub is retired and I too. Income demands it! BUT, I manage to get what I need, I just don't shop like many here do, even though I would love to!
