at the moment thimbles and sewing memorabilia. I'm thinking I want to start a collection of cute pin cushions. I started Mum on a pin cushion collection last year at Christmas when I made her a little turtle. This year I am going to make her a slice of cake pin cushion for her stocking.

I collect anything vintage to do with sewing,knitting,crochet,etc. A friend gave me a beautiful antique tatting shuttle years ago and that started my passion . I love the ols scissors with the pretty patterns on them.
I have a very vintage kitchen with a hossier full of vintage plates,bowls and crocks. On top of the hoosier I have an antique bread box and an old mixer.
I love going to yard/house sales looking for these things. Its been a good year.

I collect M&M candy dispensers. I get a new one every year for Christmas. Been collecting them sense I was 17 I am 42 now. I also have craft items. This may seem strange but I also have a large amount of sharpie markers. The family is not allowed to touch them, they are all mine.

Sewing related.... I love old patterns and wooden spools. I have lots of aprons, hankies, needlework, and vintage sewing embellishments..(rick rack, buttons, etc.)
Non sewing....paperweights, redwing pottery, Buzza mottos,
Vintage posters, english setter pictures, presidential memorabilia, and copper covered baby shoes. Theres more, but these are some of the biggest collections.
