I was once asked what I collected. When I answered nothing, the nice gal said “Well everybody collects something.” So I said I collect 1 of everything. She at least chuckled at that but couldn’t believe I didn’t collect anything.
That was years ago. Today, if I were to answer (honestly) I would have to say canning supplies, antique pincushions, and vintage hats - each of those mostly on accident. I didn’t set out to have a collection of anything. Certain things just gravitate towards me. The gal who asked recently passed away and had 2? rooms full of Santas. My mind says what a waste of space, but they made her happy and I didn’t have to live with it so “ce la vie.”
I’ve recently culled about 1/3 of the hats, keeping the best of the lot. And pincushions have to fit in 1 small cabinet I have. They really haven’t been a problem as I’ve been pretty picky with those. And canning supplies are in constant use, but I have plenty.
So do you collect anything? If so, do you have a limit?
Just curious.
