patterns, cardinals ornaments, shot glasses and critters. I'm starting to believe the strays talk to one another and tell all where to find a warm bed and a meal. 4 dogs and 4 inside cats. My kids used to think I had a lot o fabric. 1 Rubbermaid tub. ha!

My coffee table has a drawer with a glass top over it. I collect ceramic animal families but the space is full so no more.
I get a lot of reaction from people who see it the first time. Kids love looking at all the animals under the glass top.
Don't see as many animal family ceramics as I used to in the Hallmark stores.
Some of mine date back to the 50's.

At 79, I'm trying to not collect anymore. I used to collect salt cellars, Niloak pottery, old clocks for DH. Miss our good days when we would go looking for antiques. He's gone now and I allow myself one hobby....quilting.

I collect nutcrackers, paperweights, and kaleidoscopes. That said, I am like Adamae. At my age And on my own, I have stopped collecting but I have made a list of all my collections with prices paid so when I am gone, my kids will at least know the value of my stuff. What they do with it is up to them!
I probably should add quilt patterns to my collection list although they weren't intended to be a collection! On my behalf, I have actually made some of them but an awful lot were "someday" purchases and someday hasn't gotten here yet!
