I have a collection of crockery mixing bowls that set on top of my cupboards.

I think I'm going to officially change my answer from just lions to lions and weight.

Besides fabrics, I collect eggs (marble, glass, crystal, etc) and cats - I have SIX!

Great thread!! I collect thimbles, boy angels, quilting, crochet and Knitting magazines and yarn. (and Fabric)

Does anyone collect Guardian Service pans? The closest I've seen on this list was "hammered aluminum." If you do happen to collect Guardian Service, please send me a private message.

...oh, and Hull pottery.

I love pitchers, big ones, little ones and figurines of owls. Pitchers just have beautiful lines, at least to me and owls are just plain cute. I have owls that are no bigger than an inch, pitchers that are just a little over an inch high. However, fabric still has my heart and I have SABLE big time.

i am trying to work the Flylady plan. Taking it very slow. I used to collect Longaberger, Boyds bears and teapots. No more! I am giving some of my Longaberger to close friends and have not purchased any for YEARS, same with the bears and teapots. I am giving away most or selling, except for those most precious to me (gifts from hubby).
I now decided that if it is not used or useful, it needs to be some place else. Husband knew I loved Wedgwood, so he purchased an entire service for 8 of Queensware. I use it every Sunday and holidays. I decided I want only antique and "previously gently-loved" items...and it HAS to be something I will used weekly. My son loves most of the antiques, so he said "only get the good stuff, mom, because I am not bringing junk to my house". Well, no junk in my house either (well, eventually).

Apparently, I love to collect DUST...it just grows rapidly while I quilt! (LOL)

I love cookbooks and have sooooo many, but I do use them! My daughters tell me please stop buying cook book on my trips! Because, they will have to do something with them some day. And, of course, that is first thing I look for when I travel!! Sorry, girls!
