I have been known to buy the same thing in diff. colors, but somehow I always just use one of them, so I stopped doing that.

And so, I have shoes I bought in Spain that are 30 years plus old and that look new. Honestly. As my son said "Imelda has nothing on you Mother".<BR/><BR/>Magpie is me, my sister used to say that in a past life I must have been some kind of lady of the night since show me some shiny and I follow you anywhere. Like you I am in the middle of the purging process. Does this stop me? Oh yeah. Yesterday we went to an antique shop in search of some lace for my Diva bracelets. So what did we come back home with? A 1950s, in prime condition, working fine thank you (incredible but true) Sunbeam mixer, with two bowls, and guess what? Pink! Where are we going to put it? So the big Cuisinart is taking a vacation and the KitchenAid is going into exile and Madame Pink is taking center stage. Is there a rehab for people with no will power in the presence of beauty?<BR/><BR/>All this by way of telling you that this makes me love you more, we are a pair of victims of our love of beauty. And by the way, the tiny slinkies? they are used by piling books like a staircase on top of a table and going from there.

Can't figure out how she mastered the Captcha routine, but if any cat is smart enough to, she is. Has already realized a paw whack to the keyboard breaks my attention span, garnering her pets and/or play. Must be careful what I put on copyboard, lest it end up in an email to the Mayor.<BR/><BR/>PS Do you have any of those teeeeeny slinkys?

Personally, I would draw the line at bottle caps. But shiny and rusty things - bring them on! And 309 slinkies? Shouldn't that be in the Guiness Book of World Records? Shouldn't you call the local newspaper? The local museum? The local doctor? :) Good for you for sorting through all the stuff. I'm doing the same thing, rather slowly. Am determined to keep only the things I love (but that's a lot of things). Bon courage, as the French say! xoxoxparis parfaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457437124988976587noreply@blogger.com
