Collecting Things Has Many Hidden Snares

Page 2

By Minnie Hawkins

I wonder if its possible, especially for us women, to live without collecting things. Is it possible to collect things without having those things become obsessions? Well, maybe for normal folk but not for the former me. I used to look around at some of my collections and think I had gone off the planet of sanity and into the uncharted universe. At the very least, I certainly have done my share to boost the economy over the years by adding that special piece of “whatever” until the next more special item came along. It all started about thirty years ago when I saw a cloisonné writing pen that I liked and purchased. After I got it home, I continued to admire its intricate workmanship and decided it would be great to own a few more of them. I began to search for more sophisticated ones and soon I had assembled my first collection. Of course I would never dream of actually writing with any one of the pens for fear of misplacing it. Therefore, they have remained pristine in their attractive little silk boxes over the years. They are probably very sad, living their lives in seclusion, not able to fulfill the reason for which they were made, much like people when we

live below God’s calling on our lives. I should have stopped with the pen collection, but I didn't. I fell in love with teapots. You know the kind. They have little bumble bees and beehives on them or intricate indigo patterns and gold trim or, are simply white but in the shape of a square. The list goes on and on and so does the collection until several shelves are filled to the edges. No good teapot collection would be completed without a respectable assortment of unusual teacups. Now I have both and do you know I actually have to wash these pots and cups regularly or they become brittle and susceptible to breakage? I wont even get into my collection of teas but one must have something decent to put into the pots and cups. I wasn't done collecting yet and the next one made me feel as if I had found my reason for breathing. Fabric, yes fabric. All types, all textures, and all colors. I even had yards of the dreaded polyester (before I became a fabric snob) and knits, the first generation. My love of fabric was and still is deep and passionate. However, one cannot put fabric on a little shelf. It needs its own room so it can be protected from sunlight and dust and, so

it can breathe. Therefore, I gave it one. Floor to ceiling, cabinet after cabinet, beautiful fabric, and every piece was calling my name. Each parcel wanted me to use it in an inspired way so it could become the envy of the other pieces of fabric. I tried not to disappoint any selection I graced with my sewing skills. Then, one day it happened. As I was searching for just the right fabric to make an outfit, I had a startling realization. I recall the event like it was yesterday. I started to shiver. My heart raced uncontrollably. Perspiration broke out on my forehead. Tears welled up in my eyes. I grabbed a piece of my cloth, clutched it to my chest, and bellowed, “Oh no! I have to live 500 years to sew up all this fabric.” I sank to the floor in a puddle of disbelief. I couldn't accept my plight. My fabric was going to outlast me. It just couldn't be so! Sobbing, I called my daughter who was away at college. Mercifully for her, she was in class so I was reduced to leaving an urgent message to call home. She called as soon as she got the note and I greeted her with something like, “Jennifer, I don't know how to tell you this but I wont live long enough to sew up all my fabric, dear.

Mission Style Furniture:

Get this Classic Look in Your Home

Designer Home Consignment Furnishings

By James T. Allen

If you like your furniture built solid and built to last with no frills or needless embellishment, then Mission Style furniture is what you’re looking for. The Mission or Arts and Crafts Movement was a backlash against the extravagant, over-the-top designs of the Victorian era and also against the mass produced furniture emerging after the industrial revolution. In the late 1890s, craftsmen such as Gustav Stickley led the charge to incorporate clean, geometric lines and natural materials to produce structurally sound pieces that emphasized the originality of the craftsman and his handiwork. Telltale signs of Mission Style furniture include visible joints, such as the mortise and tenon that was popular at the time and continues to serve furniture makers today, as well as quarter-sawn wood which gave the grain a beautiful look. Nails and rivets were often left exposed to add a gleaming contrast to the wood or upholstery. While the philosophy seems to set-up decades of fabulously boring furniture, it was anything but. Rather, Mission furniture was beautifully designed, with manufacturers relying on exquisite craftsmanship and finishing techniques to add serene elegance to an item.

The Mission Style has been revived recently with many furniture manufacturers producing sturdier, solid wood pieces built to be passed on from generation to generation. This philosophy has been extended to much of the aesthetic of contemporary furniture. Clean, sharp geometric lines and a lack of ornamentation along with a renewed sense of pride in craftsmanship are present in much of today’s furniture. If you’re interested in getting the Mission look in your home search out solid, rusticlooking pieces that appear to have aged well or newer pieces that look like they can stand the test of time. Rich wood tones like mahogany and stained oak are the trademarks of classic Mission Style, but modern pieces can be found in a wide array of colors, wood types, and finishes. Good luck as you work toward creating a beautiful Mission look in your home.

You’re going to have to learn how to sew so you can take up where I leave off when I’m gone.” This is probably as close to telling me off as my delightful, demure, highly respectful daughter has ever come. She had trouble understanding how I could leave a serious message about fabric and suggested that I immediately call a professional for help. I, on the other hand, could not comprehend why she didn't see the necessity in the situation. She hung up. I sighed and looked into the phone, wondering if I should call her back and plead some more. Deciding not to do so, I slowly mustered up enough About The Author:

energy to brew a cup of tea using one of my treasured teapots and not too often used teacups. As I sipped tea, I pondered putting the fabric in my will with a stipulation that the recipient must be as over the edge as I had surely become. I started thinking of different friends whom I could favor with my collection but I ran into two problems right away. First, most of my friends had sewing rooms that already looked like mine. Second, most of their husbands had forbidden them from bringing any more fabric into their houses. I drank a little more tea after having brought a couple of pieces of fabric into the kitchen to admire. Then, I came up with the solution. I thought, I'll have to live forever. I sighed again, looked pitifully out the window, and saw a little bird perched atop the red blossom of my Turks Cap plant. He randomly alternated between performing a melody, picking his wing feathers, and looking around at life. He was free to fly whenever and wherever he chose. I got up from the table, took the fabric back to my sewing room, and went outside to join the bird and his little friends. I would think about the fabric another day.

For the rest of this day, I wanted freedom from the ownership of collections. What did I learn that fateful day? I didn't have collections. The collections had me and I wanted my freedom back. I called a missionary friend who wanted to start a sewing school in Africa and granted her wish with at least half my fabric and almost all my patterns and notions. I had to start shedding things. It had to begin with the fabric because I loved it the most. Since that time, I have continued to discard things. Every time I do so, I feel a sense of freedom. I don’t collect things anymore. I don’t need to. Well, that's not quite true. I collect memories and my heart is big enough to store every one of them with room to spare. Best of all, memories never need dusting and they're always ready to use. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6: 19-21.

Suddenly you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Hey, not so fast! Didn’t you see the “Do Not Touch” sign? Don’t look now but here comes the curator of the museum. For an instant you consider fleeing as quickly as possible. However, because of the “Do Not Run” sign you do not dare. You try to make the best of an uncomfortable situation so you offer, “Nice day today, isn’t it?” You are met with a look of disdain from over the top of the curator’s half-glasses. She then responds, “Hmm. I suppose it is. How may I assist you?” There is really nothing for you to ask her. It is already painfully apparent that she does not carry any of the antique fishing lures you collect. You gaze around quickly looking for any signs you may have missed. Since you have yet to see one that says, “Do Not Breath,” you take a deep breath, thank her for her time, and move toward the door as quietly as you can. These curators who are disguised as antique dealers really believe that their offerings are of museum quality and can only be appreciated by those with a discerning eye and an unparalleled admiration for that which is truly exceptional. They have got to be kidding. Most likely there are a small number of items in their inventory that could be considered very hard to come by. Such items would warrant celebrity status and would therefore deserve to be accompanied by unprecedented price tags.

We bet as soon as you saw this title, a particular antique shop you know immediately came to mind. It is important to note that there are many fine antique shops in the marketplace that are familiar with the concept of excellent customer service and they work very hard to meet the needs of their clients. This is not about them. Mixed in with those friendly antique places, whose owners will not only find you what you want if they can but will work with you on the price, are antique museums cleverly disguised as antique shops. They are easy to identify. You will know that you have found one as soon as you open the door to walk in, if you are allowed to walk in. You might have to buzz first in order to gain entrance into the inner sanctum. Once inside, you do not need to look further for any additional telltale signs that you have found a “museum.” There will actually be real signs just about everywhere you look. Cabinets will have “Do Not Open” signs. Chairs, sofas, chaises and ottomans will have signs that say, “Do Not Sit.” Tables will have signs that express the curator’s desire that you not lean on them. Some larger pieces will have “Do Not Move” signs. Move them to where? Suddenly you see one or two statues that are out in the open because they are too big to fit into any of the display cabinets. You have finally found a couple of items with which you can develop a more personal relationship.
