Some things my family has been acquiring lately:
more than a pound of beeswax
rawhide dog bones on clearance -- I'm experimenting with soaking, reshaping, and drying them
Finnish woodcarving knives, assorted chunks of wood, and several used clamps (my husband)
regular and flannel all-cotton sheets and someone's leftover quilting fabric -- for clothing, diaper, and quilt projects
used work boots that turned out to have been oiled far beyond their oil-resistance -- a resoling project for me to try out attaching a sole using maple pegs instead of glue
used bicycle wheel -- child wants to build a spinning wheel
glass prism to hang in a window
musical instruments -- an old trumpet, a quite nice thrift store open-hole flute that I can "grow into", a homemade oboe-like instrument, and a small pennywhistle
books -- homeschooling, practical skills, literature
cast iron cornbread pan
crochet cotton
