For people who are artists and artsy creators, antique shop owners, vintage hunters, there is one common thread...We want IT! IT is just a little something that catches our eye and no matter how much stuff we already have, we have to have something more~even if it is exactly what we already have at home. We can't help it, it is an addiction and except for space allowance and bumped toes in the night, it is a relatively safe addiction...I have never heard tell of any one dying from this affliction! There are hoarders and there are "got to have its". We are not the H word! Hoarders have massive amounts of worthless junk. We just have slightly smaller than masses of wonderful treasures. *note to offspring~ There is a big difference.~

How right you are!
I think of it more as "gathering" rather than hoarding!
true! wish I was more disciplined about selling the stuff I-had-to-have-but-don't-want-anymore though;) x
Soooo true! I go to auctions every Sunday and I literally have to sit on my hands so I won't bid on too many things! lol I swear, I need a bigger house!! How I would have loved to have gone with you to that antique shop shown in the pictures.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a lovely comment, I do hope you come again:-) xo
