I collect thimbles, barbies and snow village, which I am no longer collecting the barbies or snow village because of downsizing.

I collect Watt pottery, apple pattern. I have a large collection and my kitchen is full of apple collectibles. It is the only thing I have ever collected that increases in value.

I inherited my mother's novelty tape measure collection, and I've collected teapots, cookbooks, many books, snow globes, bells, mugs, cowboy poetry and music and pincushions. I refuse to see dust most of the time.

I collect children's ABC and counting books, anything Baltimore Ravens, Build-a-Bear bears, australian cattle dogs, sheep, novelty cake pans, vintage patterns, cookie jars and anything vintage/antique that strikes my fancy. Since I'm between houses all of it is in storage. Can't wait to display my treasures (hopefully soon.)
