My theory is that if the old stuff has been 'out of sight' long enough to
be
'out of mind' for even a little bit then it's just like getting new stuff.
Enjoy your 'new' stash, Mary! I'm still coming across stuff that got
packed
away last year when our duaghter, son-in-law, and their 2 boys lived with
us
for 3 or 4 mos. while they were between houses and the new construction
got
slowed down.

Several years ago when our divorced son and his boys moved in with us, I
put
a lot of my things in totes and stacked them in a corner of our bedroom
and
tossed even more. Now that the family is back to the two of us and my
craft
room is being set up, I pulled out the totes. Low and behold--clothing
patterns I thought were tossed, flannel, cotton, good old poly double
knit,
a quilt top I embroidered 25 years ago, and who knows what else. I will
start sorting another day.

This reminds me of February/March of 2003 when I visited my sister
in Juneau, Alaska (well, I was doing research there at the time as
well). I had packed up many things in 1997 when I was studying in
Juneau, and again in 1998 and although I was sure I had brought all my
things back to the UK with me, I still could never find one of my
favorite sweaters, and my grey set of longjohns (cotton, so not as
scratchy as my red poly/cotton ones).
Well, in a box in her cubbyhole in the garage was a box of... you
guessed it - sweaters! And my longjohns. Five of my sweaters were
there, and it was just like Christmas. I had forgotten about the
other 4 - a mouse had made the sleeve of one "home", and I still don't
know how to match that yarn and darn it - but it was lovely. The
longjohns went to Russia with me, but it wasn't cold enough to wear
them when I was there - it was 30C and I did in fact get a suntan in
northern Russia - but the sweaters will be coming out soon. It's very
windy here just now and the weather is turning chilly.
