To my U.S. American friends, readers and lurkers Happy Thanksgiving. To everyone–Happy TMI Tuesday.
This week’s TMI Tuesday was derived from a book called Taking Things Seriously. Read on, you’ll get the drift.
Taking Things Seriously
“Step into any living room, office, studio or den of just about any engaged, imaginative, passionate person and you will find an item that, although it may not appear particularly valuable, is reverentially displayed as though it were a precious and irreplaceable artifact.”
For example: scraps of movie posters scavenged from the streets of NYC by ‘Low Life’ author Luc Sante. A WWI prison camp hunk of bread forced upon photographer Rosamond Purcell by an elderly neighbor…you get the idea.
1. Think about your environments–home, office, vehicle, what sort of inanimate objects hold special meaning and significance for you. List/name the objects, tell us why they hold a special place. Share some photos if you dare.
2. Are any of your treasured items worth a lot of money?
3. Would you ever part with that item? If yes, under what circumstances.
4. What is the oddest or strangest item that you covet and proudly display?

I managed to avoid using the word ‘hoarder’ in my answers, but if the cap fits….

I had a “hoarding” question rolling around in my brain but left it alone.

Commenting here because I couldn’t on your blog unless I signed up for something.
“I’m literally transported (okay, not actually literally) right back in time to when that incident happened”
Yes, that is why we hang onto keepsakes or our special items. To relive something wonderful.
I like your collections–old tees and movie posters.
Have a wonderful rest of the week. Thanks for sharing.
