I like to think that things in my home fit the description above. I like the power of deciding what resides in my home, and having the power to remove 'stuff' if I want to. I like having memories and stories connected to everyday things. I recently replaced my newish and pristine mixing bowls with my mothers and grandmothers used and memory filled bowls. I liked replacing the new with the old, becuase they have a story and are now part of my story - long after their owners are no longer with me.
That's beautiful. We are moving in two weeks and i'm doing my best to de-clutter beforehand so we don't just take junk into the new house.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll show that quote to my husband so he is ok with me getting rid of everything I'd like to!
