@vulcarum - I checked you out, seems you are a collector of 'all sorts' a bit like me - but I tend to be tidy, have one room though, which needs a good shaking and cleaning, but it's 'the attic' as my children have named it . . . . I even liked the 'Bambi' plates, just walking a fine line between 'kitsch' and childlike innocence . . . I used to love second-hand stores, auctions etc. have picked up some treasures - and I have kept them. go well stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Taurisk
