All of my life, I've...I think I agree with Liz. All of my life, I've been a collector. After seeing The Glass Menagerie I began collecting tiny glass figurines. Since then I've collected old books, depression glass, brass pieces, agates (in fact all kinds of things picked up on beaches...obicular jasper, polished sea glass, strange shaped driftwood. My latest (and I think my last) addiction has been to journals...all shapes, sizes & fashions. If I lived to be 200, I would never be able to fill them all. However, at this point, I would never be able to rid myself of a single one. Oh, I forgot, I also collected boxes for a while.

I have never unpacked my stuff from my move 5 years ago. I just bought new stuff. Eventually stuff becomes a burden that requires care and feeding (dusting) and one day you may wake up and decide to simplify your life and sell all your stuff on ebay. The best things to collect are experience and memories. Just my opinion.Lizhttp://www.elizabethbeads.comnoreply@blogger.com
