    Thank you for this.

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    Something I'm doing that's safe space, money-wise (when bought at yard sale prices) and fun is eventually replacing some of my new things with old, and there's lots waiting to be switched over! Furniture, rugs, linens, etc.

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    What? As if I'd actually use them! :p But yes, thanks for defining them.

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    Hadley, I can relate to this. My interest does wane over time and shift with some of my items, for example hankies. Now I'm thinking of selling them off except for a special few so I can make room, and fund, my current passions!

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    Thanks for clarifying, I misinterpreted this part of your post. I think you're spot on. However, many of the elite rich exhibit said qualities in collecting their money to have the ability to acquire their art, no? :)

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    Yes, it's like it can take on a life of its own and controls the collector- not good, agreed.

    This I can relate to. :)

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    Yikes! I am very glad you turned this around and thanks for sharing! I am nowhere near that point, but I want to make sure I don't head in that direction, so cautionary tales are appreciated!

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    There's nothing polite about many of the antique and collectible "pickers" I've run into, and they are often the source for the art at auction that your rich stylish polite society enjoys. How is not being sentimental more "pure" than appreciating an object beyond its surface value? How...

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    I like to think of it as a passion...you live passionately. :)

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    Surrounding myself with vintage items is definitely not a hobby for me but a part of my everyday life. I guess I have to limit my ways of living. :) I've started with my Christmas collecting- if it doesn't fit in the allocated storage space I have for it, I can buy more but then something has...

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    I'm not at bag lady status yet, and I still have an open, spacious home. However, I can sense impending danger if I keep up my hunting and gathering.

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    Calling all collectors- I am getting a bit worried about my uh collecting "habit." I want to know how you personally decide when you have collected enough of anything? When you need to rent extra space? Move? Get threatened with divorce? Can't sit on your couch because it's covered in things to...

    "Here's looking at you, kid" and what might get you slapped

    I should add I have no knowledge of any of these things but agree with the first part of the first sentence. :)

    "Here's looking at you, kid" and what might get you slapped

    Yeah, what she said.

    "Here's looking at you, kid" and what might get you slapped

    I didn't know "dorky" was a put down?

    A vendor at the flea market called me his future ex-wife.

    Vintage Powder

    I got these three powders at a flea market today. The 1920's Pompeian powder and Cashmere Bouquet are unopened. Do you have any vintage powder boxes? I don't mean art glass but the original product packaging?
