Well I have come to a conclusion. "What is it?" you ask.
I am getting rid of a whole lotta crap! I have dusted under so many chachkas (sp) that I am sick of it! My mother in law who has alzheimers has so many little nick nacks that it takes me about an hour to go through the house and dust. She has a china cabinet which is full, she has two curio cabinets that are full, she has a glassed in glass cabinet that is full, so of course we have to add stuff to any flat surface possible.
Yesterday I counted, her curio cabinet #1 has 12 royal daltons in it, on top there are three glass candy dishes/bowls. Her china cabinet has her full set of royal albert dishes and cornflower glass wear. On top of it there are 4 more royal daltons, Boy Blue and his girlfriend, an anniversary candle and 8 other dishes and figurines. On the ledge of said cabinet there is a total of 26 little odds and ends that are of course breakable! Many of these things have jagged edges so you really cant dust them, I have to gain the currage one day to fill the kitchen sink with warm soapy water and give them a bath.
I havent even got started on the shelves in the kitchen that are full of 'stuff' one has the salt and pepper collection, another has her mini teapot collection and the other 12 shelves have, you got it, more odds and ends.
Then there are the tables she has that are plastered with pictures, some in frames others not. Every week I have to move all this shit from one spot to another to dust under it and dust the stuff it self.
They have two bedrooms, the one they use which has a collection of old ivory vanity accessories and crystal lamps, as well as souveniers from their 50 yrs of going to Disney. The other bedroom has her good stuff she collects, fancy blown glass figurines and vases.
WHY JUST WHY DO PEOPLE NEED ALL THAT STUFF!!!!
Okay, Im over my rant, and after my coffee is finished, I am down-sizing yet again!
