Survey #160 Response from C B
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Briefly describe the category or collection of items. | Our living/sitting room is also a "museum" where I display a large portion of 50 years of collecting a distinct critter, for which I have become a bit famous ( or at least in the past) in this city. Other than that, I have oodles of books and many board games in our long hallway (and bedroom) AND many plants at each window sill in each of the rooms. |
| Which of these statements best describes your strategy or approach for keeping the category of stuff you described above under control? | Regarding the museum, I only buy little or tiny items that will fit within the space and take photos of everything else. I buy no new indoor plants, buy no physical books anymore nor board games. I am slowly giving these away. |
| Describe any issues you experience with using, storing, displaying, cleaning, maintaining, or organizing the category or collection you described above. | Issues: dusting, but I have a method to the madness. I will give another go at selling items that are doubles or cannot be displayed properly at a parish flea market after easter. Book storage is OK now, as I donate more and more books and board games to the younger generations. Indoor plants: It's a bit difficult when they have to be repotted, as window sill space, and space near window is limited. Outdoor plants: getting to be a pain bringing them in each winter. |
