I don’t have a stash but I remember a comment a carpenter made during my kitchen remodel. He mentioned the glassware and china and shared tidbits about his collection. He went on to lament the realities he faced because his children didn’t want it and he’d begun to downsize. I don’t have much and I pruned the kitchen recently.
I suppose that’s the issue. I don’t want to saddle anyone with lots of stuff to sort through. Let alone a fabric horde. Or fill my room with bins to house it all. I’d need a studio and a financial reason (read: business) to invest in that manner. And even so, it’s hard to keep things orderly when you have a lot. Some of the studios I’ve seen in Stampington magazines make my eyes cross.
I have other interests including crafts, gourmet cooking, and photography with the requisite extras they bring. I have to be practical.
