Unwanted Beauty

Going through many of my parents’ things, trying to help my mom pare down, and came upon these tea cozies and hot pads. So beautiful, but not sure what to do with them. No one wants them and we don’t really need them...but how to give these away? (And how NOT to keep too much stuff?)

That's a tough process, for sure. The tea cozies are wonderful -- someone would treasure having them, I'm sure.

Well, for one, you just created a great momento of them, which would make beautiful images on some new handtowels or as a framed piece or on an apron. Donate is my middle name.

Things you don't see much any more - nice capture of them

[Chris Cook]

Too much stuff.....the eternal problem. I can’t remember the last time I saw a tea cosy.

They make a neat photo.

It's a dilemma for sure. I kind of have a love/hate relationship with my stuff.... Thank goodness for all the "thrift" stores in town.

Always a hard process, but at least we can have photos to remember the treasures by even if we do pass them on to others to enjoy! ...I'm diggin' those birds
