Make due with what you have has been around here for a long time. I had to sell, give away to friends, and donate a lot of stuff after dad died, in order to have a manageable mess. Still not back to where I was with stuff but getting there. We often shop the second hand stores for things.Brighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11299215170393879517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-54705907809760422132018-06-18T10:49:58.616-04:002018-06-18T10:49:58.616-04:00Interesting post!

After 30 years & cleaning out two houses that did not belong to us (our parents) we have more things than we could use up in three lifetimes! So...we are purging. Hopefully we'll never have to downsize since we live in a little 1200 sq ft house already.

Don't buy clothes at retail, since that enslaves people including children, in sweatshops on the other side of the world.<br /><br />You rock!Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.com
