AN OLD COLLECTIBLE BECOMES NEW AGAIN

Although I have talked to you in past posts in my blog about spring cleaning and using that effort to make decisions about your collectibles or just collections, it is now officially summer and I am still working on spring cleaning efforts. Part of my trouble is the pack-rat gene that I inherited from my Mother. She always saved some of the strangest things. Now I realize that her collections/collectibles were not at all strange to her. They represented things that she considered treasures. And in a child's eyeview they represented trash. Now I understand the meaning behind the saying, "One person's trash is another person's treasure". Now as I am trying to downsize, de-clutter and get organized; I find that I have a lot of "treasures" that I am sure my husband sees as "trash".

I also have found some boxes containing collections of mine that had been a passion a long time ago. For instance, one of my earlier pieces that I wanted to collect were unicorns. Unicorns of any making--statues, pictures, sun-catchers, and books. In fact, I just received a great Unicorn book from my youngest son this last Christmas. So now with my inability to stay focused on the job at hand, I find myself taking out of the boxes the unicorns that I have collected over the years.

I would love to hear from you about what some of your old collections have been and if they have become new again to you. In case unicorns are one of your old passions turned new,
I found a source for just that. Enjoy.
