I'm a magnet for expensive items that last and last. My husband, now deceased, was a magnet for really cool vintage and antique items. His father was a magnet for junk. My house was full of stuff of all kinds, especially photographs. I sat in front of the TV at night for a solid month sorting through loose photographs and throwing them away by the thousand. Now I have to go through the nearly 100 albums I have. Slow but steady is the name of the game.
