Got the meme, and the definition of "collect," from
serenejournal.
Things I collect, with "collection" defined as "I already have more items than any sane person would consider reasonable or necessary, *and* I would cheerfully welcome additional inputs to the collection (and indeed have no compunction about buying)".
- Books, with some important subsets: cookbooks, needlework books, books about Buddhism and/or meditation, and judaica
- Yarn
- Embroidery thread
- Knitting and crocheting paraphernalia: needles, hooks, stitch markers, counters. . . .
- Needlework magazines
- Cooking magazines
- Art supplies: pens, crayons, colored pencils
- Dover coloring books
- LP records
- CDs
Luckily,
thedeepquiet and I collect just about all the same things. That pretty much sums up why we get along so well.
