When this came up on Arachne in about 2002, I decided to buckle down and do
my inventory, for insurance purposes. I store it in Excel, with details of
spangles, inscriptions, costs, supplier etc. It was a lot of work - and
revealed a huge collection of bobbins! Now, the collection grows slowly
(generally one or two at a time, apart from the exciting occasion when I was
given someone else's collection) so there is not much to do to maintain it /
add to it.
My son looks ahead in all things, and likes to be prepared for everything.
(At 7, he was busy planning the toy shop he would own when he was grown-up,
and working out details like whether it should be a shop or a market stall
and where he would get the price labels!) So he is very grateful to know
that this file exists, so that he has some clue how to dispose of them after
my death (which we both hope will be a long time off).
