Books Books and more books. I love magazines (quilting) even have some of my grandmothers books and magazines from the 70's my youngest daughter has just talked me into donating to goodwill some of my books and magazines since my husband just fininshed my sewing room. I still havent posted pics yet but will soon. ( I am so proud of my room and his hard work to make it nice) I also love anything with frogs on it.

Anything I can related to sewing/quilting. I have become a machine addict. I have 8, my daughter has one, so I can count 9. I have a few guitars, electric and acousitc, and a electric bass. I collect Enesco growing up girls for my DD, and quite a bit of dust these days. I have a collection of lighthouse figurines and SHOT GLASSES! Mostly the shot glasses are from places we visit...and magnets from those places!
We also collect antique vehicles, with our oldest being a 1955. I just sold my VW Beetle.
Other than my sewing-type stuff, I collect all the Nora Roberts and STEPHEN KING books I can! :D
And I keep all my quilting magazines.

I also am a Wilton cake pan collector. I had over 60 when I counted last. THUS, my SN, although I don't do much work with Buttercream these days. I prefer to work with fabric when I have the chance. It's so much easier to clean up!

Dodge/Mopar Matchbox or similar cars. Anything Mopar or Dodge! I have been collecting scale cars similar to the real cars I've had. (and trucks/SUVs).

There was a thread way back when called something like "what do you collect" that you may wish to search for. Very good! ;D

I love anything to do with textiles, this past weekend I found a pair of cotton "carders" at an antique store, and bought them. I generally love old human powered tools.
