I gave up my mug collection. ( sold it) and sold a bunch of the rest of my collection.
A.) I dont want to compete with everyone trying to out collect each other
B.) my Tikiness is not defined by what I spend money on and collect.

I have been "collecting" my entrire life. I have accumulated and purged MANY house fulls of cool stuff. and what Im left with is the cream of the crop. Each piece is supurb and could stand alone. This way my house doesnt get too cluttered.
and instead of focusing on the accumulating part I can spend my energies on creating environments and perfecting the rooms so they look great even empty. ( obiously Im still working on that, considering every room in my house is still half finished)

Great pieces find their way to me without any effort on my part.
PLUS Im constantly making stuff. and if I really want a paticular piece I try to find a way to trade for it. so I dont knowwhere on the scale that puts me as far as being more or less tikier that thou Dawn
