About those Goodwill collections

Do you ever go into a Goodwill and see what was once obviously someone’s beloved collection just sitting together on a shelf. This always makes me sad because I think that whoever had the collection died and their family just donated it all. Couldn’t they have at least saved some of the choicer pieces to remember uncle Jim or Grams?

Once I saw just tons and tons of cute vintage salt shakers and yesterday I saw a collection of shot glasses from touristy places. Now its not like this was a collection of taxedermied squirells dressed as presidents or something. Salt Shakers are useful, shot glasses are useful so come on even if you don’t drink you can stick a candle in them or something.

I guess the world has just become too disposable no one has room for memories anymore. Everyone just lives in crappy apartments and all they buy is basically put it together yourself disposable furniture from Ikea and Target so when they move half of it just ends up by the 47 vacuums and an exercise bike sitting by the complex dumpster. No wonder pretty much every furniture store is going out of business.

Or maybe they are the same people who give away whole albums filled with family pictures to thrift stores. I’ve seen this too. Who would do that? Do you hate your family that much?

I don’t know why I notice when the rest of the world doesn’t. I’m too sensitive. The world says this is a bad thing but its always been the way I am wired. Oh well.
