My desire is to have a few clothes (and other things) that I love, that fit well, that last, that are timeless, and that I don't have to think about so I can spend more time being an "activist extraordinaire." ;)<br /><br />I'm the same way with books...but I'm working on it.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661705838389866476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928117252460676054.post-44969641037096782332011-03-17T21:16:16.351-04:002011-03-17T21:16:16.351-04:00My mom absolutely cannot understand why I don'...My mom absolutely cannot understand why I don't feel the need for a huge wardrobe or lots of jewelry. I'm not exaggerating when I say she could open a store with her QVC purchases. I do have a wee bit of a problem with books but I'm getting better. ;)Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113928043039917799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928117252460676054.post-88549875026472862522011-03-08T17:41:32.223-05:002011-03-08T17:41:32.223-05:00Shona,

I had an aunt who would collect certain things, reach her max, and then find something else to collect. No purpose...just something to do. Seemed like a huge waste of time, money, and resources.<br /><br />Congrats on getting to where you want to be.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661705838389866476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928117252460676054.post-14922404408461760602011-03-04T18:50:18.549-05:002011-03-04T18:50:18.549-05:00My launching off point came about 1 1/2 years ago ...My launching off point came about 1 1/2 years ago with a collection of vintage state souvenir scarves. They were in a box I made special for the collection + I questioned why I was gathering these scarves just to put them in a box AND with a goal of 50 scarves. Then I started looking at a number of things I "loved" but were never brought out into the light. I laid hands on everything I owned, eventually selling a ton of stuff on eBay + in my Etsy shop, giving things away to friends, etc. To be honest, I barely remember most of what I got rid of, and that's the point. Ultimately these items did not mean very much to me. <br /><br />I now that I am near the end of this process because for the first month in 1 1/2 years I don't have a bag to donate to a thrift shop.<br /><br />When my grandmother was moved into a nursing home my mother called me and promised she would do the same because she did not want my brother & I to have to sort through her stuff.Shona~ LALA dex presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997153789350766344noreply@blogger.com
