My husband, daughter and I are all terrible hoarders - we have way too much stuff that never sees the light of day and I dread the day we have to move!Kandy Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992773219169379298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-7937451711569024872017-03-10T15:25:05.505+11:002017-03-10T15:25:05.505+11:00Sue, what pretty pieces.

The trick is to find a time when we both want to do it! At the moment we're minding stuff for elderly relatives and younger ones too and it's a great incentive to streamline what we've got.Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-90592475376540988742017-03-10T14:18:46.207+11:002017-03-10T14:18:46.207+11:00I don't usually hoard, Amy, but we were keepin...I don't usually hoard, Amy, but we were keeping everything for when we bought another house. But it all dates, except for things like these.

Growing up my mum and her generation had dinner sets that came out once or twice a year and I just don't see the sense in that.

But I'm so clumsy the butter dish would be lucky to last a week in my house before it took a tumble. ;-)<br /><br />We have a tendency to be hoarders too...but mostly of books. I can live with that. :-) Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.com
