Long years ago, every home seemed to have a china cabinet full of little 'treasures.
I still have one, I would like to get shot of, but because it and its multiple contents were collected by my late wife, over many years I would feel I would be betraying her memory to dispose of it.
In much the same way as this morning, when hunting through her needlework basket. for a simple needle and thread, all the various ribbons, cottons, wools, etc, I cannot bring myself to throw away.
