Iave always bought a lot of bobbins. I find it much easier to have a color I need ready when mending. Just lazy I guess.

Me too! I just love washing it and having it sparkle on my kitchen window sills.

Me too. My toothbrush holder is one of the 50's era china girl planters. I just live the jewel bright colors. I am also fascinated by art glass. There are little sparkles of it all over my house.

Love those cute little embroidery scissors. I have been keeping them in a drawer but am thinking about getting a pretty board that I can mount and display them on. Hopefully this will accomplish two things: one, free up a drawer and two, maybe if I see them all, I won't feel like I have to keep buying them. Maybe.

flash drives -- but they are great if you want to send a lot of pix . We divide our time between east and west coast so I use a flash to take my pix to put in the "other" computer. I like to have my pix as screen savers randomly.

I rescue vintage linens. It began in my teens and after my mom, mom in law and step-mom all left their stashes to me it expanded greatly. Every now and again I just pull my rolling chair to the chest and finger these lovely reminders of home and family - ties of love. I use them as much as I can and get more pleasure laundering and ironing them. My daugh has the bug, too.

I am addicted to scissors. I think it stems from having young children many years ago and only having one scissors in the house. Could not keep the sewing scissors private property. Have many now!!

Before I had to downsize, I collected ceramic animal banks. There were so many different animals in addition to dozens of piggy banks. They were so much fun setting around the house. I sure wish I'd saved a few of the more unusual ones.

Sewing machines, scissors, patterns, fabric, and anything else related to quilting or embroidery! You are not alone.
