The secret toy store in my attic

Sometimes you have to hide things to set them free.

My attic curtain solution to reduce visual clutter has been popular with readers, but we haven’t talked much about what’s going on with the stuff they hide. The day is fairly here, friends, to explore what lies behind the curtains!
