Rotate your display - 06/01/99 12:39 PM
I just noticed the "Tip Sheet" hadn't had a new post since 5/5/99. I just had to put something in here to get it back up to date.
Many collectors speak of crowded curios and the fact they have no room to display all their HLs. Until my addition on my home is finished, I too have no space to display all of my collection.
The best thing to do is rotate your stock. I usually take all my HLs out of the curios to clean the cabinet and the glass shelves about every 2-3 weeks. This is an excellent time to put a few of them in their boxes and put a few different HLs on the shelves.
I also change the positioning of my displays each time I rotate the stock. This makes the display more interesting, not only for me, but for my friends who are quite impressed with the beauty of these wonderful collectibles (including the Glows!).
Rotating the HLs in the display also prevents the HLs from always getting hit by the sun as it comes through my windows at different angles during different periods of the year. Neither of my curios is positioned in direct sunlight but the sun manages to illuminate them at different times of the day.
So the next time you're cleaning your curios, take a few pieces out and put a few new ones in. Move them around and your display will renew your interest each time you stop to look at what you spent all your hard-earned money for.
