Why did I buy that?

Sometimes, when we're away we find ourselves buying a souvenir and not thinking what we will possibly do with it at home. Things I have bought: An antique mantel clock, Hummels, china, crystal, an antique sewing machine, coffee cups, tee shirts, hair piece, beer steins, pictures & costume jewelry.

Things I have found use for: Tee shirts, coffee mugs, jewelry.

Things that are just sitting there: clock, Hummels, china, crystal, beer steins, pictures & non-working sewing machine

Things that are long gone: Hair piece.

Most of the stuff I bought in Germany. In the 60s, it was fashionable to wear wigs & hair pieces. So?

I'm wondering just what my children will do with this stuff. Certainly, they are more practical than I am Have a yard sale?

LOL! I wish you still had the hair piece. I wish I still had my "falls" from the same time period!

I need more than a hair PIECE- I need a whole head's worth.
