I guess I am, but someone could probably steal some and I would never know.<br />RRick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-1909472320321781662016-08-04T16:59:55.219-04:002016-08-04T16:59:55.219-04:00I used to collect for a while then get tired of it...I used to collect for a while then get tired of it and give them away. I do still have my Avon girls. Mel fooled the thieves by throwing old dirty paint rags on top of a small safe he had pistols and silver money in. Don't have anything that needs to be in a safe now.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-4243736745263573202016-08-04T16:23:14.494-04:002016-08-04T16:23:14.494-04:00I wonder how 'those' folks can face themse...I wonder how 'those' folks can face themselves in the mirror. Sure, I've experienced my share of envy ... but not to the extent of removing something that doesn't belong to me.<br />My parents enjoyed collecting (pueblo) Indian pottery and jewelry. Few pieces remain, but I think they hold more sentimental worth than dollars and cents.<br /><br />Betty's closing sentence hit the nail on the head, didn't it?Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-73601251510495239742016-08-04T11:34:43.164-04:002016-08-04T11:34:43.164-04:00I looked around and don't see anything of valu...I looked around and don't see anything of value here lots of junk. I do have<br />some valuable things but will not say because this can be read by everybody.<br />How people live with themselves when they take things that is not theirs<br />surprises me.

However, I do have lots of Pyrex.

My collections have no monetary value. For the most part they are only fun things like the collection of chickens that decorate my kitchen. I'm sure no one would want them, but they brighten up what could be a old gloomy room. As Taryterre says we cannot take anything with us when we die. Good reminder for all of us to not prize material things too much.

It started with religious items, morped into christmas, kitty cats and gnomes. a few years ago I packed everything up and began giving it away. You can't take it with you when you die, so I wanted others to find joy in them.

Then I stopped collecting because I started downsizing, LOL. <br /><br />Hubby perhaps collects guitars or at least thinks he needs to have 10 guitars for some reason :) Some are collector items and I do try to keep them straight when he talks about them but I never can. All I know is if he passes before me and his brother is alive, I'm to offer them to him first. Otherwise, I guess its fair game to try to figure their worth (or lack of it). <br /><br />Sometimes I think it is similar to just not have much and to collect treasures in heaven where it really matters :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
