I collect carnival glass and finger lamps. finger lamps are kerosene lamps that have the finger holder. collecting can be very dangerous and consuming but I've collecting this stuff for over 40 yrs and only been collecting cloth for about 5 yrs

I collect ceramic chickens/roosters; cookbooks -but trying to reduce these since the divorce in May, used to love to cook, not so much anymore; Christmas Village.

Fabric, quilting books/magazines/patterns are things I cannot walk away from, way past a collection...more like an addiction.

I was at Goodwill here in town and they had a plethora of TY beanies with tag protectors and a few were in plastic boxes to protect them. My sister used to collect them and I recognized a lot of them.

There were at least 50 of them and I would say that most of them were retired including 2 or 3 Princess Di's. I think they were .50 or .75 each, I started to buy them all but I was Sewing Machine hunting that day and just getting started.
