I have been down-sizing all but a few hobbies (quilting, knitting), because I came to the realization that I can't possibly do it all! Especially, after going to estate sales and watching the families struggle to liquidate items that only a few understand the value. On the other side, those who do understand the value will apreciate and use these items, and carry on the traditions. When I buy quilting items from an estate, it makes me feel like the new caretaker, and am very reverent of the gifts.
