Where did this go wrong? A collector's lament for the ages! - Bilge

We too have piles and piles and boxes and boxes of our old favorites. Just to name a few: Amy has collections of vintage snow domes , vintage nodders, cool shot glasses, dresser caddies, mid-century dinnerware, chalk wall plaques (food with faces), bar-b-que platters & aprons as well as loads of old Berrie statues (I love you this much) . I have extensive collections of vintage smiley face stuff, girly, pin-up, and vintage erotica, psycho ceramics, big-eye/ sad-eye stuff, paint by numbers and black velvet paintings, old 8mm, super8 and 16mm films, Zippo lighters and don't get me started about books and records. This all does not include the art, mid-century furniture & design, aloha attire and of course the Tiki collection! More than one person who has seen our home, our basement, and our storage has STRONGLY suggested we need serious help. Help? Yeah, we need help– finding more cool stuff! I say don't sweat it unless it becomes a burden, then let it go and live with someone else who it will give joy to. -Duke
