As is often said, it is the thrill of the hunt. I have a fabulous collection of antique thimbles, from plastic advertising to 14 karat gold. Hubby and I would frequent antique stores when on a road trip. What will happen to them when I am gone? I would love to find a museum that would treasure them as I did. Now they just take up valuable space in my studio.

I have such fond memories of you sharing your wearable art at my guild 25 years ago, or so. One of the outfits was a cow. That, I thought, is a person with a great a sense of humor and talent.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327638922473726598.post-20599420734911124152019-05-31T22:44:44.108-04:002019-05-31T22:44:44.108-04:00Oftentimes, collecting really is more about the hu...Oftentimes, collecting really is more about the hunt, and after that many creamers of a kind, I think you can feel ok about the hunt being over. Mary, you're not in Wisconsin anymore - lol<br /><br />I've been thinking about my china tea cup collection, nowhere near the size of your creamer collection, but still stuck in a box since the last move over 6 years ago. The core of the collection are ones that belonged to my grandmother, and so decorative that most are difficult to drink out of, not to mention no one drinks such a small amount of tea in a sitting anymore Others are a few my mother added herself or were gifts, and she and I had a ritual of having tea out of them on special occasions, choosing which one we'd prefer on the day. <br /><br />I know there are some more practical, mugs actually, in the collection that I would use if they were out. But the way I narrowed down the hunt for what to add to my collection became a search for any with violets on them, because a relative I dearly loved had given me a matching sugar and creamer with violets. So while I have room for these in my china cabinet (just), I wonder if I really want most of them anymore, would use most of them if they were accessible and whether I should set aside the memories of the hunt to pass these along.

Ridiculous even moving them from WI here when we knew we had no place to display them....instead they took up valuable storage space which hopefully will now remain free of anything else!!
