THIS IS MY THOUGHTS ON ALL MY LISTINGS

HIDDEN AWAY TEASURES NEED TO BE SEEN & CHERISHED IT'S TOO SAD TO LEAVE THEM IN DARK CORNERS, CUPBOARDS AND BOXES.

THIS IS MORE THAN SPRING CLEANING IT'S 'HAPPY RECYCLING' OR 'LIBERATION OF MEMORIES'.

THESE HOWEVER ARE THE THOUGHTS OF MY NEAREST & DEAREST

THAT'S HIDEOUS WHAT ON EARTH POSSESSED YOU TO BUY IT OR THAT DOESN'T MATCH ANYTHING ELSE YOU'VE GOT PLEASE TELL ME YOUR NOT PLANNING A NEW 'COLLECTION'.

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF YOUR GREAT AUNT ADA  ARE YOU SURE IT WAS LEFT TO YOU  OR DID YOU ACCIDENTLY BUY IT BY MISTAKE AT THE LOCAL  AUCTION/CAR BOOT?

IF NANA DOESN'T MOVE THOSE BOXES SOON  HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET INTO MY BEDROOM?

EITHER THE 17 DINNER SERVICES WE'VE NEVER USED GO OR SHE DOES!

I'M NOT PUTTING ANY MORE SHELVES UP THIS PLACE LOOKS LIKE A BRANCH OF POTS-R-US.

I'M SURE I'D GET AWAY WITH IT IF THE JUDGE'S WIFE COLLECTS CHINA!

'BRINGS BACK FOND MEMORIES' IS THAT A NEW WAY OF SAYING WRAPPED UP IN A BOX FOR 10 YEARS?

REALISATION DOES DAWN EVENTUALLY THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO KEEP EVERYTHING YOU HAVE LOVINGLY COLLECTED NO MATTER HOW SWEET, PRETTY,NICE OR JUST PLAIN SAD IT IS  YOU HAVE TO SET THEM FREE SO YOUR FAMILY CAN ACTUALLY GET INTO THE HOUSE!!!!!

I AM NOW SORTING THROUGH BOXES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN LOOKED IN SINCE THEY WERE PACKED WHEN WE MOVED TO OUR PRESENT HOME 11 YEARS AGO AND I HAVE TO ADMIT I DO BUY LOADS OF THINGS I DON'T AND WILL NEVER NEED.  I AM A COMPLETE SUCKER FOR ALL THINGS WEIRD & WONDERFUL.  IF IT LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS A GOOD CLEAN TO MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL IT'S MINE OR IT'S ONE OF A PAIR LONG SINCE SEPARATED I'LL GIVE IT A GOOD HOME.  SETS WITH ONE OR TWO BITS MISSING ARE ANOTHER FAVOURITE (NOBODY ELSE WILL HAVE THEM I SUPPOSE.) MY HOUSE IS DEFINATELY A REST HOME FOR KNICK KNACKS.  SO I'LL HAVE TO CARRY ON LISTING THESE LOVELY OBJECTS SO THEY CAN FIND SOMEONE TO LOOK AFTER THEM & SHOW THEM OFF.  MY  HARD HEARTED FAMILY SAY IF IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN SEEN BY ME FOR MORE THAN A YEAR I WON'T EVEN NOTICE IT'S GONE.
