    Yarn

    Yarn, yarn, yarn. I love knitted and sewing. Not many people know that about me, but I knit all the time. I have enough yarn to knit a pair of socks for everyone here. Not that I will, but......

    I also love buying kitchen gadgets.

    I'm not really addicted to buying anything, but if I had the money I would probably get lots of different body lotions and shampoo. LOL!

    Sallyanne, I wish you were closer, you probably know how to crochet as well. I have these potholders? that you begin in one corner. I just don't don't know how to start.

    Dresses...I love dresses. For someone who lives in a climate where they are only wearable for a few months a year, I have a truly ridiculous dress collection.

    Tapes for my car. They're only 49 cents at Goodwill and I will regularly walk away with six to ten of them, yet I seem to stick to the same five or so.

    Actually, if Sas ever ran out of things to knit, good mittens are always, always appreciated at homeless shelters and food pantries - but I bet she knows that! We have a mitten tree at the back of the church each fall, and I remember childhood well enough to know what a delight a good warm pair of mitten is on a chilly day! Sadly, I do not knit, and have not the patience for it!

    Books and tools.

    I won't rent a tool unless I KNOW I'm only going to use it once, and books, well.....I spend a lot of time waiting for machinery to break, so I have plenty of reading time.

    Although I don't buy much anymore - I have always loved dishes - linens - towels - kitchen items - table cloths and napkins - placemats.

    At some point you stop - and realize that you have way too much stuff. Besides I have a lot of linens that I inherited from my family - good linen that needs to be ironed. Ha - haven't used that lately!

    At least you have cats to keep the mice at bay. Many of the linens Aunt Bertha had stored away for future use got nested in by mice, sadly.

    Candles. I buy them because they smell good, but then I wait to burn them because ... they smell too good. And just about anything with a kitty theme! (kitty mug, kitty pin, kitty dish towel, kitty picture frame...)

    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Definitely hair accessories! Over the years I collected a whole drawer full. While I started packing for college a couple days ago, I found it really unneccessary to bring them all. Therefore, I had a hard time deciding which ones to bring.

    Hand bags or purses, whatever you want to call them.

    Well, like pomtzu, I cannot affort any extras since I retired. If I had the money, I would probably be addicted to new photo equipment; lenses and stuff...
