A neighbor contributed a few of the donations in this collection.

While going through my stored items, I found a few that really left me scratching my head.

One was a collection of plaster dental molds – the type the dentist does when you have a crown made. I must have had at least six sets. What on earth possessed me to put these old molds into a box – inside another box – in storage?

In a different container I found a plastic sandwich bag filled with periwinkle shells. They weren’t even in very good condition. Why on earth did I think I should save them?

I found an old letter from someone I don’t even remember. I also found one – only one – paper Chinese lantern cover. It looked as if it were made to be hung around a Christmas light-sized bulb. What? Was I planning to have a very small outdoor party someday?

While I’ve rid myself of these embarrassments, I wonder what I am hoarding now that will make me cringe years later.

As long as you are hoarding biscuits, I say it is time well spent.
