I have some to this day.<br />I also have treasures collected over the last seven decades and hope our grandchildren will marvel at 'things' from yesteryear.<br />My oldest treasure is the Vicar's/church warden's rent book from the late sixteen hundreds and early seventeen hundreds.fredinthegrasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14409357639714782828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047364082320718555.post-83675878745992562862016-07-06T09:11:47.042+12:002016-07-06T09:11:47.042+12:00Ah!

Dives...Ah! Differing philosophies, how stimulating!<br />Divesting, devolving and dispersing, or compiling, collecting and collating - which to chose, which to choose?<br />I fluctuate between the two, gleaning by nature then off-loading when the gleanings begin to clutter my spaces. Presently, I'm corralling my bits and pieces into a trunk that my grandchildren can 'discover' while playing in the loft. It's filled with odd figurines, dented tin toys, tiny milk-glass jars, blue 'poison' bottles, prisms, lenses and so on. They can make of them what they will. The very special things are destined for my crane bag :-) robertguytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335459362715594644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047364082320718555.post-17052097238670574152016-07-06T06:48:41.427+12:002016-07-06T06:48:41.427+12:00I don't any more.

All those things belong in the garden, or in a toolbox, or they need to be passed on to a new owner, so that's what I've done.Armchair Critichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471331367551108517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047364082320718555.post-22296929604648216132016-07-05T20:52:01.056+12:002016-07-05T20:52:01.056+12:00Yep,sure do!
