To my "stuff" or at least that's what the oldest grand accuses me of. While she is a very smart young lady, she is a 16 year old and can't possibly understand the value of stuff. And besides, I prefer the word treasures.
Many years have gone into finding, saving and using my treasures. The real coup is in finding bargains, and yes, I have been known to dive into a dumpster! It's amazing to me what others discard. On occasion it hits me, I have too much stuff (I mean too many treasures) and decide to purge. And what happens? It had a purpose all along.
For example an old frame. It had been in the basement forever until one day a sampler fit into it perfectly. And yesterday, a thought hit me...maybe I could use it for another one of my favorite pieces. Yes! This is why I'm "attached to my stuff"...it fit perfectly!

How about you, are you attached to your stuff?

I can remember a place, a friend, a bargain, etc.
Your sampler and frame look wonderful together.
It proves some stuff is worth
hanging onto.

Frames though, I keep, they are so expensive and the older the better most of the time.
Yours looks wonderful with your stitchery.
