Treadle sewing machines, old sewing boxes, anything to do with sewing needlecases, pincushion etc. I also collect antique clocks(Ihave about 50 of them). I have a house that was built in 1812 and have filled it with antiques from Europe and America. My wife said I am related to a backrat. :lol: Glenn

Soft cover Books, Books, Books, and more Books. Not magazines (they are overpriced and mostly advertisements);
I've got enough cones of thread to last til Jesus returns, the beautiful colors are displayed on the wall in thread racks; and
Rulers, I use the 6"x24", 4"x14", 6" square and 12" square, but everytime I see a new one I feel obligated to buy it and it just sits there unused.
