Joy is a 57-year-old retiree who has an obsession with collecting vintage toys, games and dolls. With two of her bedrooms and her study packed to the rafters with stuff, Joy keeps on adding to it, and now her home would put most toy museums to shame. Six years ago, Joy's husband Dennis convinced her to turn her compulsive collecting into a business and open a shop. Sadly a year later, Dennis became ill with terminal cancer, and even though the shop had to close, with the entire stock coming back home with her, Joy continued buying more toys and dolls on a regular

Who in the name of sanity paints a child's BEDROOM RED?? Especially a room for a child who is likely stressed/scared?? And who may be older than 5?? And not even proper curtains in her own bedroom! Shocking waste of money, I know what things cost and it's perfectly possible to redo the whole place for a fraction of what they wasted. I bet Joy changed plenty once they left.

I am jaded by some of the not so pleasant people that I have had to deal with and then indignities at the shows. I just don’t want to do it anymore.
