LOL I like to just look and feel and sometimes that is enough
I would agree. I read this about another stash item- yarn. " Why can't I just collect it. Other people collect things that they don't do anything with..." She put her pretty yarns out in baskets! I don't know if you could do that with fabric..but why not? The stores do it- so we'll buy it!! LOL.
Seriously though, I have been reading the articles about hoarders too and it's a little scary. 2 points that were made; were that they felt "things" could be trusted, not people. And many of them were depressed and anxious about other areas of their lives. I'm sure many of us can relate to "shopping therapy", but it really doesn't work. Things don't make you feel better. It's finding that balance - enough but not too much. Best wishes to all of us!!
