Yeah.. I keep my collections small enough to handle now.
My new rule that works well enough for now is, if I see something I want,
I give away something else.
Collecting paper money from different countries doesn't take up much room.
I haven't been to a garage sale or flea- market for months now.
The books are the hardest to part with.
My fantasy was to have a library complete with rolling ladders.
I kept just a few of the finest blown glass items,on a south facing window so the light shines through them along with a big chunk of obsidian that must
weigh about 12 lbs. It glows a deep reddish amber color,especially as the sun is at a lower angle here in the top portion of the U.S. at this time of year.
Who was it that said something on the order of "the more stuff you have,
it ends up owning you."
