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

Cookbooks. I have made 2.

When we travel I always buy a cookbook from that area cause of the ethnic cooking.

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.

I guess I'm the craziest, but I save all these pages in my "saved for later" spot and go back and read them. I never get anything done...

I was going to vote for sewing machines. After reading some of the threads, I definitely say sewing machines. LOL.
