That doesn't mean I don't like to get rid of some of them sometimes and sometimes by other things and sometimes just let them go and reduce clutter. I just don't want loads of things everywhere. <br /><br />I follow a Swedish minimalist blog which has a lot of interesting posts but I would go crazy asking myself if I really need every single thing and if I could get rid of it. I am not crazy about minimalism as style, my favorite homes are those you sometimes find in the hands of an old lady with all kinds of mismatched but nice and/or practical things. Hand embroided linen towels made by her mother 100 years ago is next to a modern plastic cup but they are both things this lady likes and that she uses.

If you go through your things and everything left is loved and has a place to live, that's part of making your home homely - warm and expressive. Those minimalist houses with virtually nothing in them always look rather chilling to me. Books on their shelves remind me of wall-hung tapestries - kind of beautiful home insulation that you can also read!Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-57084947348943398642017-03-03T16:00:55.467+00:002017-03-03T16:00:55.467+00:00I am doing some decluttering and rearrangements to...I am doing some decluttering and rearrangements too. Not because of Lent but because it is one of my maternity leave projects for when I get sick of being a milk producer and baby cuddler and need to use my brain a bit (and this baby sleeps, the first one didn't). Right now the project is books and I have decided to get rid of quite a few but there will still be tons of them left. I love books so that is expected. I have gotten rid of some clothes and kitchen stuff and all of that needs to go to the charity shop. I don't own clothes that are nice enough that I can sell them and get any real profit so they go directly to the charity shop.Elinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401440551873070129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-17835340413849726912017-03-02T20:20:11.066+00:002017-03-02T20:20:11.066+00:00:0)

It's worth checking with your local one to see if they do it.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295624431714012643noreply@blogger.com
