COLLECTOR - ACCUMULATOR - GATHERER

Is it time to change?

These words conjure up a myriad of images, and thoughts of what they mean to you.  

When is it time to thin down the collection of this and that, will I lose the memory of something if I can’t physically touch it?

Knick Knacks, and Books that have come to you over the years, what will happen if you let go of them?  Will the person who gave them to you be hurt?  Is re-gifting wrong? 

It’s time for no more things to come into my home, but time for things to leave and find a new home.  Now how will I remember those things that are leaving?

For me, it is to get the camera out, take a good picture, and say goodbye to it.  

After the pictures are taken, transfer them to a digital picture frame.  This way you can see the item repeatedly again, remembering the memory, and knowing it is with someone who is making new memories.

My mug collection is the right size, and will be kept intact. I am so lucky to have a Madam in my life, and she brought me two mugs from Paris and London which hold special meaning to me.  

Tea Cups seem to be abundant in homes these days, I take flowers, put them in it, and pass them on. Instead of flowers what about someone's favorite candy!

Consider putting a basket together for a silent auction to help your favorite charity.  You may find that enclosing a special note about the contents and the memories they gave you, will bring on the winning bid!
