Some Dolls Are Keepers

In the difficult quest of downsizing collections and objects in this house,  a concerted effort has been made to sell some dolls.

There is a fairly large collection of my sweethearts and to let any of them go is quite difficult but it's a task that must be done.

 Some dolls, however, are never going to join the "For Sale" mania. 

 My Polish doll, shown in this post, is one that is a keeper.

 

She reminds me of the Polish grandmother who sacrificed so much of her own life in order give all her children and grandchildren better lives. 

So while the downsizing continues, "Marishka" will be safe and sound in the china closet, to be sold long after I am gone from this earth.

HOW DO YOU FIND DOWNSIZING? IS IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU OR EASY?
