    I collect children's fairy tale books. And I love anything that makes
    me smile. One year for Christmas I bought my Mom a silly looking
    moose. She never really said anything about it. After a few months
    she said "Did you give me that Moose" I said "yup, Mom, I did."
    And she said "Every time I pass it on my way to the kitchen, I smile."

    It doesn't get any better than that!!!!!

    I have happy things all over the house - things that make me smile.

    I'm a sewing hoarder. I collect sewing machines (8 at the moment, but 2 are vintage singers, 2 sergers and an embroidery machine), books, books and more books, ditto with patterns ( garment, quilting and accesory type projects), rulers and all kinds of sewing/quilting notions and gadgets.

    Hoarding hugs,
    Lyn
