    Wouldn't you think by now there would be a system to suck it out of your house? I get so frustrated because you cannot really ever get rid of it. Sometimes I vaccum it off things and actually try to vaccum it out of the air when the sun shines so you can see it. Craziness!

    Riversong, I couldn't help but laugh when I read your post. When I saw the title, "what do you collect", I immediately said, "dust" outloud. haha And I collect rolling pins also. What a treasure to have one your Grandfather made! Wow!!

    I collected Teddy Bears but when I hit over 400 from sizes 2" to over 4 ' I have run out of room. So I have changed to fabric. That's getting just about as bad.
    My Husband does antique telephones and G scale model trains.
    Help we are running out of room.
    Our friends say we should open up our home for a museum.
    That's pretty scarey to say the least.
    I guess that's why I'm having so much trouble getting my sewing room together and the walls painted in the house. There is just to much stuff to move to do it.
