Similar but much sadder story....a nasty accident during a rain storm caused the death of a lady who had been 'stashing' for her retirement. She had just retired before the accident, and her family was now trying to get rid of that 'stash'. OMG!!!! a lot of it had been stored in a shed which led to sun and water damage. Goodness knows about any rodent or pest damage! (I know I immediately washed everything that came into my house!) Plus there was just soooo much!! Cotton, flannelette, upholstery fabric, yarn, notions, spools and spools of thread, partially finished items...it just went on and on and on!!
I really hope that I won't leave that kind of 'legacy' for my family.
