Up next is the front closet !
Lots of family coats , dog collars and slippers.
Oh and a pin board!
Back when events happened and
the Oilpatch in Canada was booming ,
every event would have souvenir pins.
They were hot items to trade
and if you were lucky ,
you could get some lovely complex ones!
Now the question is , do we keep them
or pass them on?
They may end up in a nice vase for memory triggers
for stories at family events.
They could be great conversation starters!
Next, the pictures!
I swap out wall decorations with my mood , the season
or just because .
The out of circulation ones go on the closet shelf!
There seems to be quite a stack.
some have memories , some are gifts and
some are just beautiful!
The family artist was visiting and
advised on what to keep . I do have
final say . The most interesting pictures
was a pair I got at an auction.
The look is vintage New York and
really appealed. A handsome couple!
But, and this is a big but,
it turns out that they are the same person!
Seems Julian Eltinge was an early
female impersonator! There is even a
theater named after him!
Sentimental items are the hardest to get rid of, aren't they? I'm starting with the "low hanging fruit" and continuing from there. Keep up the good work, Deb!
ReplyDeleteThank you ! I am slowly making progress but it is cutting into my quilting time!
DeleteWell it looks like you are very busy organizing and doing what can be difficult- getting rid of items. My daughter has a pin collection. It was a lot of fun for the kids to trade pins . Have a wonderful week and if you have the chance take a quilty break lol.
