The joy of discovering old forgotten stuff

Greetings, hivers :)

I bet the most of you all have had that similar experience of finding something forgotten. Something that was back then considered valuable and too good or of a too high quality to be used right away, in the everyday-life...

A couple of bags, put inside another bag, "buried" deep down there in the closet, under another layer of clothes or stuff that would be used who-know-when.

Preparing trousseau or dowry is not very popular in my country in the last few decades, except for some remote parts of it, where some ancient rituals are quite preserved and people still follow them.

Now there is another tradition, and here I don't know the exact word in English for it, but old people who feel their end is near, collect clothes, money and other stuff they believe are going to be necessary for their funeral. This tradition really creeps me out and I don't like it but that's not the topic of my post here :) I just wanted to express my surprise for finding those two items below.

Check out this sweater, with a label saying it is made in Israel. The standard of living in my country is far below that in Israel, and yet somebody imported this colorful cloth.

Now check out this shirt. The brand is "Rila", in Cyrillic, not "Puna" as some may think. "Rila" was one of the biggest clothing factories, named after the mountain with the highest peak in Bulgaria, but it shut down somewhere in the 90-ies. I bet this shirt is more than 40 years old. If not much older!!!

Still, it looks as brand new. Only the plastic bag shows signs of the real age.

And as those two pieces were together, that means the Acrylic matter of the sweater above also withstands at least 40 years.

That's speaks about quality a lot!

However that brings my thoughts into another direction too. The pollution due to the surplus of clothes that are produced and never used. I read somewhere this kind of pollution is actually at the top 3.

Long story short... wear your fine clothes and enjoy that warm feeling when you discover something good and forgotten. In general, enjoy Life! As every new day we wake up is a true and priceless gift! :)
