Survey #236 Full Response from Noreen
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe a collection or category of items in your home that you’re worried might have crossed over into “too many” or “too much.” | I have my Mother's collection of Willow Tree figurines. There are about 30 right now. They fit on shelf in a curio cabinet so they are not overwhelming, but I know nobody will want them when I am gone. I am trying to whittle it down slowly. |
| For the category or collection described above, what factor(s) contribute to your assessment of the stash as excessive? | Recently had new floors put in and had to empty the curio cabinet. That made me realize how many of them I had, as well as countless other tchotchkes and crystal and china from my Mom and Grandma. I am only child and the oldest grandchild, so I ended up with the stuff. |
| For the category or collection described previously, what would you consider a reasonable limit? Your answer may take the form of a precise number, a volume of space, a budget, a time commitment, or any other metric that makes sense to you. Optional: Explain how you arrived at this answer. | I would think 5 figures, most likely the ones I gifted her. Other items maybe 1 bowl or 1 cup and plate, not 4 cups that are never used. |
| Describe something that you keep in your space because it reminds you of a better time in your life or a fond memory, even though you might otherwise consider it unnecessary or excessive. | Pictures |
