Art versus Technology
Over the years, I have come to own several art pieces. Most are Southwestern pottery, baskets (collected by me) and Kachinas (collected by my husband. We also have many. many photos of ourselves and others in our family, lovingly framed and displayed. Add to that a good collection of vases, candle holders and other decorative items and we often end up with more clutter than decor.
I've actually been pretty good managing the clutter. About every year or so, I sort through it all and either put it in a cupboard or put it in a box to sell at a garage sale., but this year I am long overdue. The folks from Clean Sweep would love to get their hands on our house.
The problem is further complicated by the electronic issue. We currently have 2 laptops, 2 portable phones and an iPod with speakers to find a home for. Plus we just bought a plasma television, which makes the lovely pine armoire that my former tv and most of my Southwest collection lived in, history. My CD and DVD shelfs are spilling over onto the floor. Every spare inch of space has something on it; art lives with technology at its side and it's not a comfortable relationship.
I like looking at my pretty stuff, arranged in attractive ways. I love my technology, too. But there's just not enough room. I don't really want or need a bigger house, so that's out. Yes, I need to purge. I think I should have a giant party and just tell people, "See this pile? Help yourself!"
Would you come?

Yes, I would like to attend. Please put nice cool art and/or technology on the greyhound. Address to "Jenn". I'll pick them up tomorrow.
;)
Dibs on the Plasma TV!
That'll be in the pile right? I mean it's probably ugly compare to Southwestern pottery.
