What do you collect ~ besides fabric
Hi fellow quilters,
I collect vintage Raggedy Ann & Andy dolls, Mary's Moo Moo's figurines and unusual rocks. What do you collect ? Besides fabric of course.

All manner of things...books, skulls (not real ones), good crystal, vases, anything vintage and unusual, obsessed about chairs and furniture but am kept in check by my husband, mirrors, art, anything that can be put on the wall. Outside....plants, plants and plants, and pots, plus any overflow from the house that will withstand the weather and look "sculptural" (well to me anyway). Only the amount of pets the law allows ....otherwise I'd have a petting zoo. There's probably more, but that's all I can think of just now.

Books - both reading and crafting, baskets, yarn (waiting on me to crochet into something!), sheet music for the piano and organ, music for listening to. Looking at my house, you'd think I collect junk, but I use most of it, and if I don't, I just haven't found time to clean it out! At least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

I collect Barbie Dolls. I started in 1988 when the first Holiday Barbie came out. I purchase the Holiday Barbie every year and others that I find that are unique. I have a set of 4 seasons Barbie's, the Gone With the Wind series. Several Bride Barbies, Birthday Barbies. Lets just say I have a lot, over 100.
I have them all on display.

Critters! I have more of those than any other one thing. But I do love vintage dishes, footed etched bowls, little sectioned dishes, spoon holders, anything that is cute that will add charm to my table or buffet when friends are here. I recently acquired a set of 4 jade-ware mixing bowls for a steal, I still feel bad for getting them so cheap from a yard sale, but I love them.

This is a fun thread - need to see pictures. I love vintage (anything) pictures, lamps, ceramic figurines, mini tea pots and cups, display plates, crystal and glass candle holders with various style chimney.
