I am a tag sale fanatic, and have a collection of “stuff” that has taken on a life of it’s own. Once during a move as I was sorting thru everything, I found probably 12 antique glass doorknobs I’d accumlated. When I got to my new place, I lined them up in little tiny flowerpots on the kitchen windowsill. They were suncatchers and eyecatchers that in all probably cost a grand total of five dollars!
