Don't buy more shoes because you haven't worn out the ones you already have? My fabric collection is huge, and the only reason I will ever think about reducing it is if it becomes hard for me to manage. Until then, no one has a right to criticize it or me.
I completely agree! I don't feel like I have to reduce the amount of fabric I have just because someone else thinks it's too much. I love my fabric. I love looking at it and touching it and just having it.
I also have 4 dogs which some people might think it too many. I love them all and would never get rid of them because someone else thinks that too many dogs.
My husband and I are both collectors. We have vintage signs and artwork on the walls. We have 5 cars.
I don't feel that anyone has a right to criticize it. I've also noticed that when someone is critical of how much you have, they are usually just jealous.
