The older I get the less I care about stuff. I still like to see pretties but I do not feel the pull to take home another arrangement or seasonal decoration. I want to use what I have and enjoy the things I've collected over time. I think Tammy at Peanut on the Table is rubbing off on me.

oh!!! you KNOW i would love THIS post dear bean! LOLOL.
ReplyDeleteit does take time. but i do also think it's a bit contagious.
suddenly space around beloved objects become more important than covering up an area with them.
they breathe. and are so much more appreciated! at least that's how i see it.
that urge to make things beautiful is in us all!
that's why i don't understand some stringent minimalist's blogs where they just show a bed in a corner and a plastic box!!!!
good grief! but... then. as you always say... 'to each his/her own!" so i won't judge. ;) LOLOL!!! i might wind up with a bed and a box myself someday and have to eat all these words! LOLOLOL. XOXOXO♥ hug sadie for me!
