| I gave away a Franklin Mint heirloom |
| Saturday, April 01, 2006 |
I gave the plate away to the local charity shop eons ago, but just came across the certificate of authenticity in piles and piles of paper filed under 'miscellaneous' (It's amazing what you can find under miscellaneous.)
Anyway finding it made me feel bad for two reasons:
1. It was a gift from my elderly Aunt who may have bought me a hideous cat plate because she thinks I have a cat obsession, but she is lovely and it was kind of nice that she bought me something "crafted of fine porcelain, bordered and individually hand-numbered in 24-carat gold" that is "a limited edition" and "recommended as a heirloom".
2. I could have sold it on e-bay! For money! Other people are.
Everyone has one of those aunts |

I am slowly working my way through my "guilt box" - a box of hideous or just plain unwanted items that I feel to guilty to just throw out/put on eBay. I've found that guilt has an expiry date - if you wait long enough, eventually it will feel OK to get rid of stuff you thought you'd have to guilt-keep forever...
