I collect pincushion, Santas (though I have been giving them away) snowmen, and back in the 80's I collected Cabbage Patch dolls. I have over 30 and I work with two young men that have young daughters and I gave each girl one of my dolls and the birth certificate. Funny the one I gave to Ryleigh had the same birthday as she did, how cool it that? I also have way too many cook books and embroidery designs for my machine that I will never use and I have zillions of quilt magazines that I can not part with.

I love vintage sewing machines, especially hand cranks , but I've limited myself to the number that can fit in my workroom and on display. I collect and play musical instruments, mostly the string family. I collect nesting dolls. And bears - especially Muffy Vanderbear, her dog Lulu, cat Purrlie - and all their little outfits of course!

Lately, it's been Starbucks cards, but I also collect stuffed animals (once in a while) and quilt books. It used to be regular books as well, but found the library to be much cheaper, since I rarely reread most books. 
If I had more money, there are so many things that are collectable. As it is, I have 3 sewing machines and a LA.

Oh, yes...I nearly forgot. I also collect Male Angel figurines, gold and silver coins, and dirt from other countries - so far Australia, Afghanistan, Ireland, Hawaii (I know it's a state but it is beautiful), and Korea.
