    Hmmm collection.. well I have collected some of the Willow Creek figures, some of Jim Shore, teapots and cups, and someone said of having an old rolling pin.. I too have one and an old wash board. Now Christmas decorations! That's another story... my husbands says I could decorate several homes! I love santa's and musical characters and just about anything that catches my eye! That's about it really.

    I collect Fenton glass, salts and lately I have been buying old quilting books. Just picked one up the other day and it has Fons and Porter in it, looks like they might be in their early 30's

    Books, however I have recently changed to Kindle, china pieces called Welbeck chintz, cake decorating tools and books and magazines, and anything for quilting.

    Over the years I have collected various things: books, Avon, bells, etc. Most of that was lost when I had a house fire back in '86.
    Now I am mainly collecting post cards that our daughter sends us from all over the world and anything relating to sewing, especially vintage items.
    Just don't have the space for much of anything else. Fabric is taking over any and all extra space that we may have.
