Hoarding is already in her nature, so she goes for a sublime addiction here with the toys.
I used to save rubber bands and make balls, until I thought it was more pointless than fun.
I would still be collecting rocks, if I had a proper place to store and display them. I used to have several types of Granite, Shale and Gypsum, including Rose Gypsum, which is said to bring good luck to the owner.
Shades of ‘The Long, Long Trailer’, one of my mom’s favorite movies (I enjoyed it, too). :)
My boss’ husband was in the local Rock and Gem Society. When they went on a rare vacation, he brought back a box of rocks to polish. Not on the scale of what Lucy had, of course!
