Where did all this come from?

 It's not MY fault!

Dona Anderson

It's not all my fault.


Sometimes when you start a collection others want to help and it then it can quickly grow and grow.

That's what happened, I'm sure ... (?)

Then a friend was getting rid of this holder of treasures and asked it we wanted it.

YES YES!!! and that was over 40 years and several homes ago.

It's still loved.  A few things have fallen and broken but most are still small treasures from near and far away places. 

For many years we've been trying to downsize and wonder what's next on the list to let go of. 

Boxes and boxes of stuff has left over the years and more still to go. I'm happy to pass things on. 

And I love to go with my daughter to thrift stores and others places who support local families, animals and more looking for bargains  It's our few hours together when we go to visit. 

That's where I got this music jewelry box for $5 and it plays an Elvis song!

It will become another holder of treasures.


PS. what do we do with all this stuff that the younger family doesn't want?

Thanks for your visit.

  1. We haven't seen these friends in years as they live far away so I sent the picture of the holder of treasures above as a Christmas card. The reply back said her heart was happy that we still have what her husband made as they go through health issues. A reminder how little things can be priceless to others.
