I have outgrown? moved on? and in order to have my curio back I wrapped and packed up the figures and STORED them in the attic.

It lifts your heart, makes you smile, adds character to your life - something someday your family will look back and think of you by.<br />Purge - bless you! What a glorious collection you have - you've displayed it beautifully - <br />If you feel you must purge - pass them along to those who'll love them as you do and think of you when they view it. I couldn't decide for you in 100 years!<br />God Bless,<br />KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310044533488593888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9004276822099257887.post-44589174226711348732010-12-21T19:19:06.981-05:002010-12-21T19:19:06.981-05:00Just beautiful, how could you possibly part with i...Just beautiful, how could you possibly part with it, i bet you can recall where you picked up almost every piece.

It would be hard to part with your pieces, and doing this a week before Christmas {I'm impressed lol}, cleaning out my dishes is not on my to do list this week :).<br />How about you keep every other one, i.e., like your square bowls. They would still look pretty stacked, and no one would know you got rid of half of them :).<br />Wishing you a Merry Christmas!<br />~ Juliesaltbox <br>treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179932117279371382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9004276822099257887.post-20586930667419314302010-12-17T12:02:20.008-05:002010-12-17T12:02:20.008-05:00First of all - GORGEOUS!

It looks like it's pretty well contained in your pretty cabinet, so I would keep it all, or maybe just choose 5 things to part with at first. I'ts easier to let go once you've made a start.

See how you like living with the displayed pieces only. If you just can't stand it, pull out some of the stored ones and mix it up. I think it might be easier to part with some (if that's what you really want to do) by "practicing" to part with them at first. Just an idea. Sometimes I've gotten rid of or sold something and regreted it, other times I'm totally OK with it.<br /><br />PS If you think that gold iron piece on top of your hutch is just too awful to look at every day, I would sacrifice the look of my home and take it off your hands. I'm just sayin'.<br /><br />Sincere blessings to you,<br />MissyMissy @ Chateau Chic Boutiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06246111122535455747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9004276822099257887.post-30636921796580803922010-12-16T10:16:41.918-05:002010-12-16T10:16:41.918-05:00I just love your collection:)

They go so well in your pretty cabinet. The blue background is so pretty with the white. Here is what you can do if you really want to thin it out a little, put some away and rotate your collection, I do that all the time, its like getting new stuff for free. BTW Thanks for stopping by and signing up. I sell at the Scott's here in Atlanta.

I'm trying so hard to minimalize my home right now and it's hard for me to do.<br /><br />My goal is after the New Year to go through all cupboards and drawers and purge. Having a booth now, I'm needing more smalls, so that is giving me some motivation. But what if I never find another wonderful crazed ironstone pitcher again?.....it's so nerve wracking.<br /><br />We might just be soul sisters, Theresa.<br /><br />Glad you could play along today.<br /><br />KathleenFaded Charmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398319258427669524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9004276822099257887.post-13995533460647372272010-12-15T23:10:23.839-05:002010-12-15T23:10:23.839-05:00Oh it is just so hard to pick and choose, isn'...Oh it is just so hard to pick and choose, isn't it? Kind of deciding which child you like best on which day! Impossible!!!<br /><br />Box it all up when you do your floors and then see which pieces you really miss...and long to see right there in front of you. I have done that with some of my things and started editing out. I have given stuff to my kids and to friends that I knew would love it. I also sold a bunch of stuff on Ebay. I thought I would be broken hearted but I find I am freer somehow without so much "stuff"...and I NEVER thought I would feel that way.

If its for space and you still LOVE it, pack some up or move it to some new spots in the house.
