Angels all kinds. My favorites are made by Jim Shore.

I used to collect cookbooks. Have lots, but now, I think that it's time to start to get rid of them. Ebay, here I come.

I collect fabric and owls...I even have a collection of owl fabric. I'd like to make an owl quilt someday.

I love pewter fantasy figurines... It's hard to find ones that are really detailed & don't cost too much so I only have a dozen or so, does that count as collecting :)

And for some reason my kid sister thinks I collect angels... so I have a few angel nicknacks too.

I used to collect dust bunnies, but have since moved on to the dust buffalo. These larger dust beasts are easier to spot, but for some reason, fewer people are willing to store them. :lol:

Really, I collect rhinos. Weird, I know, but it all started with a wooden rhino in a little shop in Kent, CT. 20 years later, and I still have a hard time passing one up. BTW - there is rhino fabric out there, and I own some. Go figure!

Oh, and heirloom seeds... I collect those and grow them, too.

I have a huge collection of cookbooks - I don't know why - I don't like to cook.

Go figure :lol:

Apparently, sewing machines. Also, cookbooks, 40's kitchen utensils. Knitting needles, yarn, patterns. But, I do have one rule -- Everything has to be usable and has to get used; otherwise, it is eligible for the 127 Yard Sale in August.

NOTE: As of this writing the rule does not apply to anything in my possession. But SOMEDAY --
