I once posted about my leash & collar obsession - Rooney & Stuart have matching leashes and collars for every holiday and various themes and since that time I have added to the collection. So yesterday I decided to clean out a few drawers and little storage boxes and I came across my finger nail polish collection. I decided I should go through it and get rid of the old stuff, colors I don't wear any longer, etc. I remember doing this about 6 months ago - so how come I still have so many bottles? Do I have a problem? It got me to thinking - what other things do I have to excess? Hmmm - my hotel card-key collection? My cookbooks? Lipstick? So confess tell me what you have too much of and post a photo!

DO NOT get rid of them - cookbooks are the best!!! I love the really old ones where you couldn't make the recipe even if you wanted to because of the strange ingrediants that we no longer use. I love the ones with pictures - yum. I love cookbooks! I have some that were given to me upon my 1st marriage back in 1977 - in one there are tips for a happy marriage like "always make sure to look your best when your husband is due home from work - so do your hair and wear lipstick". LMAO
My husband Loves the "Time Life" series called The Good Cook (edited by Richard Olney), and the Time Life Foods of the World. They were published and released in the 70's and have wonderful photos and instructional "how to's". He has the whole series, even though they're a little bit harder to find now... Any suggestions for your favorites?
(It probably helps to know that my husband is the cook/chef in our relationship -- I just enable him and buy him cookbooks because he looooves them, and i love him ;-])
That is awesome! I'd like to see a photo of that
Too many cookbooks and too many junk drawers!!
Me too!!!
Too many cookbooks and too many junk drawers!!
When I moved out of my mother's home at 18, I swore I would never collect a thing. She is a collector of everything. They make TV shows about her kind. I love her dearly but ......... no way.
Honestly, 'STUFF' makes me nervous. I'm not a clean freak, but I don't have a lot of anything. Maybe music, but nothing tangible. It now is all on my iPod. I pay the supreme rate on the trash collection. If it sits there and bothers me, out it goes.
Oh, I do have way too many shirts that no longer fit. Maybe that counts?
...but if I could afford to, I would have a lot of gadgets. I do love the electronic world
Joanne - you are too funny. I HATE gadgets - they were supposed to make life easier and all they do is make me crazy. They never work right and don't come with instructions for old people (me). I'd love to go back to the old days before there were cell phones.
Thanks to a serious effort at dejunking my house I have a lot less things than a few weeks ago. It is an ongoing process but I'm getting there. I do however have too many jackets and coats,I haven't gotten to that closet yet. No, I will not be posting a picture. :>)
Donna, yeah, no pictures from me either! LOL
