The things people discard tell more about them than the things they keep.
~ Hilda Lawrence
Since I opened my Etsy shop with vintage things, I have spent a lot of time hunting for treasures to sell in it. In Florida, this is the time of year for all the rummage sales and yard sales since our weather is so nice.
This quote made me think about some of the things I have seen and wondered how people could part with things like linens that their grandmothers stitched, old family photos etc. I'm too sentimental to part with anything that was made by someone in my family! In fact, I still use a couple of cloth diapers as dust rags that belonged to my son. lol He will be 25 next week so they have gotten some use over the years!
