Lighthouse "gifts" - 04/29/06 06:39 PM
After 7 years, there are a lot of people that are connected to me that know I like lighthouses. Everything from teachers to family friends knows about it.
They seem to remember this every time they're in a store and see SOMETHING with a lighthouse on it. Now, there's a lot of crap out there with lighthouses on it. Somehow, a lot of it finds its way into my house.
Now, I don't mind the odd Scassis or Spoontiques (they're nothing like HLs, but at least they're sort of nice). And calendars are always welcome. News clippings are ESPECIALLY welcome. If there's a really, really cool thing, like an old soda bottle from a place in Rockport, MA that an old art teacher got me, then I really like that.
But I do NOT need to have a set of cheap ceramic magnets. Or an ugly resin lighthouse. Or some weird picture thing.
When I "purged" my room a few months ago, I filled up a big box with all this stuff. I don't want to throw it out, becuse I'm kind of sentimental, and I'd feel bad after people thought of me to buy it. But I DON'T WANT IT!!!
Does anyone else go through this issue? Or is it just me?
