Polly's Pictures

By PollyH

Depends what sort of life you have

This book came into the shop today and I couldn't resist bringing it home to scan through.
I think I am quite good at getting rid of unwanted "stuff" aka Swedish Death Cleaning but according to this book I have a long way to go.  I obviously "love" too many items.
As is often the case, we get a lot of books from one household and you find yourself building up a picture of the owner.  Sometimes it is quite sad as it is obvious that family are clearing out an elderly relatives collection.
Today I had a lot of books on management of people and one contained a Club Class menu for an American flight used as a book mark.  There was a book on gourmet food and qualities of wine.  Also many autobiographies of past notable politicians so I leave it to you to decide the sort of picture I painted in my mind of the owner.
Clothing can also be a give away too so maybe you should think of what sort of picture you are creating in the minds of the volunteers who sort all this stuff!
