PEORIA -- One woman's hobby is more than a collection. It's a lifestyle.

Wilma Schubert loves dolls so much, she's collected more than 5,000 of them. She even catalogs them to help her remember where and when she bought them and how much she paid.

She admits her collection has become an addiction, but she says it's fun and helps make her feel less lonely. This isn't her only collection. She has more than 330 sewing thimbles, 250 teddy bears and 70 musical clocks.
