Albert, I’m honored to be tagged! I’ll hop over to your post to read about your “addictions” right away. Now Smell This has a policy about not participating in group memes, though, so I won’t be able to follow through. But it shouldn’t be too hard to see that one of my addictions is going to thrift stores and estate sales….

Do you feel sad reading the NY Times obituaries, too?

Sometimes the people whose houses are open to estate sales did seem to have sad lives–a lot of times you find the trappings of age: walkers, seats in the bathtubs, etc. And it’s sad to remember that we’ll all get old (hopefully) and die. On the other hand, what amazing lives! You find fascinating books, souvenirs of exotic vacations, dishes on which hundreds of meals have been share.

Just chiming in again on this old thread to say that a house sale like that would just make me sad thinking about the actual person’s life, sold off bit by bit for perhaps next to nothing. I think thrift stores and antique malls make me feel that way a bit too, but at least there the belongings are divorced from their original context: someone’s *home* that is no more. Then again, I can think of how each little thing that’s sold off is bringing a ray of sunshine and joy into many different people’s lives, so there’s a lesson to be learned there about the ultimate in “recycling.” I’ll stop attempting to wax philosophical now.

Sadly, I thought you were actually talking about salt! Maybe I’d better push myself away from the table…

Ann, we seem to have some tastes in common, fragrance-wise!

I lived in NW Portland for three years at the end of the 90s-early 00s. I had a love for fragrance then and wore a few steady scents, but certainly wasn’t nearly as interested as I am now. So, every time I think about every opportunity I had for *three years* to discover the Perfume House, I want to dope slap myself!!! It makes me want to cry for sure! At that time, the only good reason I had to go to Hawthorne was to see a movie at the Bagdad and drink some Ruby ale!! Sigh…Ruby Ale….
