David, having recently moved into my own apartment after 3 years of living
with unpacked boxes of beloved belongings, I agree that it's so much fun to
unpack old beloveds and to think about where they might go now.  I had an
old type try that I hung to display Red Rose Tea animals and other
miniatures; it has been hung in my new entryway, and I love seeing all
those tiny figures again!  Same with some of my artwork that sat in the
attic since my move from Tennessee.  Even though I haven't hung it all yet,
I have it leaning against the appropriate walls, ready at some point to
hang.  And I found a good size Charles Burchfield print out by the
recycling bin, and it has pride of place on my living room wall.
