Anyway, I had to write this because I wanted to share my elation over finding a doll that I just knew was somewhere in the house, but was eluding my efforts at finding her. There she was, in the bottom of a box, under plastic baggies stuffed with 1:6 scale accessories and play line clothing. Said box was shoved under a piece of furniture, off in a corner of the room inaccessible due to all the other stuff I had placed in front of it. Agnes was not amused.
I used to call myself a collector. I believe I have passed that stage and entered the realm of hoarding. Please, someone come over and save me from myself!
I find the best medicine for a hoarder is to just give stuff away. This only works if you make it count. I sometimes choose some of my better dolls, dress them in some of my better clothes and add some jewellery. Then I package them nicely and give to orphans with the message that they are princesses and that the dolls are meant to remind them of that fact. Hoarding problem, sorted!
