[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 605493, member: 1514"] I must be somewhat odd because I always knew the things my mom collected would eventually be mine and I wanted them even if I wasnt that fond of her. Maybe there is the kicker. She lavished attention on getting those items and I was with her many times when she did so those items also carry good memories for me too. Some of the only good memories I have with her. She collected old Blue Willow items. Not the knock offs you could buy in the grocery stores but the stuff from either England or China. Her theme was always blue and white. I love those things. She also had some silver and pewter items that I love. I dont keep them out because I dont want them lost. I do have to admit I have one piece of that newer Blue Willow but its a clock I bought to go with her motif. She liked it so I still have it. And dont get me started on pictures. I treasure every single picture I have now. I didnt back when I was young. I could kill my father because he put together one of those huge picture frames where you insert all these small photo's in various slots. He gave it to me when I was maybe 28 or so. They were all baby and childhood pictures of me. I liked the sentiment when he did it but we were still moving every so often and had no roots. That thing is long gone. Now I have only 2 baby pictures of me. I so wish he had waited until I was older and living in my own place before giving that to me. [/QUOTE]
