Sedayne, I live surrounded by voluminous, useful stuff & your place sounds like mine, tho bigger as it is a house & shared by 2 collectors.

One of my mini-collections is penguins. How furtunate you are to have a real penguin under glass, I hope she soon gets company. Most of my penguins live on an old stool, others are hanging on the side of the cabinet next to the stool & I have lots of laminated pics of penguins on the wall behind.

I'll be moving to a larger place in a few years & will get professional removalists in to pack.

I'm helping a friend make a collection of her voluminous accumulation of paper ephemera (postcards, cards, programs, journals/magazines ...) by putting it into archival quality folders & boxes. She laughed at me one day when I asked her for a small bag from a gallery in Ireland as one of my mini-collections is bags from other countries! Humph, fancy a collector laughing at another collector.
