Scaling down

I just moved into a new home that is considerably smaller than the last. Less house but more land. This is forcing me to scale back how much memorabilia I display. :( I don't want to become the next episode of 'Hoarders' :eek:

Anyone else experienced this? What did you do? Did you just pack some up? Did you sell some? Do you rotate it from time to time?

Would love some input. Keep in mind that I have a HUGE collection. :mickey:

My mother in law moved into a smaller home and rotates all her collections, it keeps it fresh and interesting for visitors and she can enjoy all her collectibles/antiques. She has a shed dedicated to her collections which are all labeled.

I originally packed things up with the intention of rotating what's out. But, the stuff that got packed, stayed packed for years. So, my new rule is, it's displayed and enjoyed or it's gone.

I don't think I could be this extreme... More power to 'ya! <whew>

Maybe if I leave stuff packed up forever.... but not yet... I'm too attached! :cloud9:

You okay? Put your head between your knees and take deep breaths! ;) Perish the thought.

Tracey, after 3000, I think it's too late for that... :funny:

BTW, my first multi-quote. I think I blew a gasket in my brain :D
