I hope this works out ! (Just be careful ,ok ? )

Speaking of Korean sellers with echeverias...there is one I found through Instagram. I was so mesmerized by their pics I had to message them. They ship often to buyers in California for $50...and then the photo sanitary cert is additional $10 I think. And ya know, the plant itself can be $50 or more..(like a ton more) or less. Sigh, so since I'm not experienced I won't risk it. but here's the blog if anyone's interested (I'm not sure if there are rules against posting sellers...if there are I apologize and let me know and I'll remove it): http://ksucculents.blogspot.kr/

I have the same dilemma. My mom had a childhood penpal and saved the letters. Some of that stuff is taking up a small amount of space so I just keep it around, but someday it will be trash. Ironically, I worked for a museum, and one minutes something is sitting in a box in storage, old carp that no one wants to look at, and the next minute it is a valuable time capsule for someone looking for details of that time and era. For example, I found a box of old school stuff that a teacher donated, bulletin boards and educational props, handouts, mimeo sheets, etc. that she used in her class. The kind of stuff I know teachers all over the country end up throwing out when they retire. She donated this box, and 100 years later, I was researching turn of the century educational materials to make some reproductions, and her box of old useless junk was now a goldmine. That's the rub. I'm interested in history, and I am APPALLED at how much stuff local history museums and archives just don't bother even scanning anymore, let alone saving. No one wants to bother with it. My local libraries history room routinely has stuff stolen since they can't invest in proper management and security. One local historian left his estate to the library and they had a historical collections manager for ten years with money from the bequest, but once it was used up, they have just let everything go. No one even on the staff anymore who has any training in history. I'm toying with getting a certificate in archiving. There are several colleges that offer online programs. As a lover of history, family or otherwise, I am just amazed at how little interest there is in such things anymore. I'm not suggesting you should save everything, but heck people throw out perfectly good clothing and furniture just because it is a few years old now. Not like Europe, where they have family stuff that is hundreds of years old in many attics still. I will say that the trend nowdays is to throw out the original stuff and save it digitally as scanned images. That's a bit of a mistake, in my mind, but again, can't fight "progress."

Didn't find anything in the KC collection that I wanted, but I DID go down the ThredUp rabbit hole and ended up with a few like-new Tahari blazers for work. I don't know whether to thank you or not, as I didn't exactly "need" them ... but they were cute and priced well, and I just couldn't resist!
