...but i do...
...you have no real purpose...
...or function in my life..
...but somehow i feel i need you....
...it may be that i foresee a future
for us together at some later date...
....or that you just always seem to
bring a smile to my face....
...maybe i'm just too sentimental...
...and nostalgic...
....but once i have found you...
...i just can't leave you behind...
...these are a few 'keepers' that
i have rescued recently....
....none of them costing more than
a few pennies.....
...but i have just had to have them!
...anyone else have this problem?

I love viewing your collection , it is so much fun that you collect them and grant us a viewing !
ReplyDeleteThank you willow......... I could use that as my excuse?!? X
DeleteYou're like a little magpie seeking out little bits of treasure! :) x
ReplyDelete......or a squirrel even??? He he E x
DeleteFrom what I have seen most of us lady bloggers have the same problem. Treasures we cant resist which are going for a song! I buy things and then end up having to have periodic clear outs to the charity shops.
ReplyDeleteYes I think you're probably right...... And I'm trying to clear out some stuff too to make space! X
DeleteI have no such problem...then she laughed and she laughed. The funny thing is we are suppose to be down sizing next year. I run an orphanage for abandoned cruets and a kitsch corner of sadness should you ever need me but don't mention the flying ducks.xx
ReplyDeleteLol! Loving kitsch corner of sadness- I think I must have several of these! X
DeleteYes, I have this problem. I'm glad I'm not alone. I love all of these items, especially the Easter egg. I have a couple of old ones like that, passed down through my husband's family, and I have always liked them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer....... It was so cute that I couldn't leave it..... it will just have to hide away until Easter! X
DeleteI think we all have tendencies to this, it is just that some of us give in more than others. Earlier this year I "rescued" a piggy money box from my parents "to go" box, just because I needed it!
ReplyDeleteOh good rescuing! When I got married I returned home to my parents to rescue all my boxes of old toys that had been stored in the loft.......only to find the mice had got to them first! I was devastated( but think my new husband was quietly relieved...... He's got used to it now!).
DeleteHow could you not love all these little sweeties? I find I'm a sucker for very tiny treasures, and they don't take up too much space, leaving room for more... Chrissie x
ReplyDeleteYes I tried that and it definitely helps..... however sometimes these big things slip through the net! X
DeleteBut of course i have this problem. Want to start a therapy group LOL?
ReplyDeleteHehe- definitely! Think we'd end up drinking lots of coffee and then go shopping!x
DeleteMe Me Me Me Me!!!! I have this same problem! And you don't even know how much you have helped me tonight! Seriously! I had a stern talking with myself (after last night's Halloween decorating) about NOT buying any more stuff! And then I went right out today to the thrift store...where by the way I found a wonderful piece of pottery and a vintage snowman. But why can't I stop???? I was feeling terribly guilty tonight, so it helps so much to know that I am not the only one who suffers from this condition!
ReplyDeleteThe egg is fabulous and the faces of those little boys are too cute! You always find things with a certain squirrely charm!
Thank you my friend!
Erica :)
Oh Erica- never change....... Our guilt can be outweighed by the joy of rescuing beautiful ( in our eyes!) things that would otherwise have been neglected or gone to unhappy homes for lives of misery. I love all your amazing collections and a vintage snowman is NEVER to be ignored! X
ReplyDeleteRescuing little treasures is a great hobby of mine, it's sometimes just too heart breaking to leave them behind ;o) loving your new additions xox Penny
ReplyDeleteI loved this post! It made me smile. Good on you for 'rescuing' the cute thingies! :-)

Oh, yes indeed. I live in a Hobbit House that I am constantly trying to declutter, but those little things keep creeping on in ...
ReplyDeleteM x
i have been known to cry trying to leave things in charity shops...especially toys! I have given in now and just buy it all! x
