I bought a new wallet recently and had to transfer everything, which led to making choices. Mine was hooked inside the coin compartment. It was very hard to purge, but I put it in the tray on the kitchen shelf with foreign coins and single earrings and all the "strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff."
Ah, Anna, I don't think putting it into the foreign coins/single earring bowl will bring Borders back. It hasn't worked with that beautiful carnelian earring I lost the first time I wore the pair! For weeks I scanned buses and sidewalks JUST IN CASE it was trying to get home to its twin. Periodically I look at the lonely singeltons and think that there HAS to be something I can make with them. The coins from thirty years ago trips to Europe aren't even used anymore or are now worth less than a penny--but they're MONEY, who throws away money. No frugal me. Sigh.
I feel your pain. I still have mine too.

Hah! Guilty as charged.

ReplyDeleteA graphic reminder that we all hang on to things waaaaay too long.
