I think we should do this. It would course mean spending money but our historical stuff is the stuff we make most money from. And we'd have to make room. And.. ooo it's all too difficult. Wish I hadn't posted now.

You mean we should auction of our wardrobe excess. It would make room for some of this stuff.

I might go to this too - just to look at the pretty things really.
Also trying to decide on an outfit to wear to a wedding the following week so perhaps I could pick something up - if Lou is taking the viking costume than I might bagsy a Matador costume from their Carmen off-casts if such a thing is going - then I can stand at the end of the aisle and wave a red flag to the bride

Stuey can risk the wrath of Val if he buys more costumes we cannot house - I will deny all knowledge.
