I love how old furniture and other ...Agreed Janna! I love how old furniture and other things are made with such quality. I would also love to be in the middle somewhere with not too much, not too little, but enough. I got this book from the library "Simple Country Wisdom (501 Old-Fashioned Ideas to Simplify your life)". I read this little bit in it and it really spoke to me on this subject. <br /><br />"Those who live in gracious homes tend not to be wasteful. Furniture and possessions are treated with care and made to last. Water isn't left on, and possessions aren't acquired without thought. This means that what is used is needed, what is bought is fully enjoyed, and what's left over can be shared with others."<br /><br />This is what I want to be, thoughtful.

Oh how I adore a beautiful vint...Yes yes & yes! Oh how I adore a beautiful vintage bracelet that I know there's a story to or a nice old dining table to avoid buying some pressboard crap from IKEA... but INDEED there's still that X-factor (eXcess) in second-hand sales as much as there is in retail/new shopping.... Sometimes I think about all the stuff and where it is on a larger scale.... like the hoarders have it all in their house and waste-not but the non-hoarders are just as responsible for all the stuff in the world, it just doesn't clutter their immediate space... there's is just in a heap at a landfill somewhere. Ultimately I would LOVE to be neither of those (though I am both) and just stop getting stuff altogether!Life Center MOPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18311333191232717478noreply@blogger.com
