    Hello,
    My sister and I are clearing out some things our parents collected over the years and feel like we don't know what we are doing lol. Hoping to get some information on a few things from you all!

    Emotionally it was surprisingly tough, but there were plenty of laughs and happy tears too !

    I would like to think you would have some idea what they liked to collect, even though you might not be an expert in the field. My kids know my addictions. :)
