They make you happy - and there's no downside I can see in having them around. It looks like a lovely little tableau to me!Jeri Danskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647833266269245240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6783067435150895074.post-83424172667775688832011-03-10T13:35:48.001-08:002011-03-10T13:35:48.001-08:00Hi Beverly!

I really do like my "stuff" around me and even pick up certain things from time to time and look at them with enjoyment. <br /><br />I am also a shopper, like you! It's so hard to stop, even when I realize what I've spent on things I don't need. I guess it's part of the journey.<br /><br />Thanks for the vase love! I bought that on etsy and that was one purchase I didn't regret later. The seller called it a "loving cup" and that description made me smile :)<br /><br />Thanks so much for visiting my blog!<br /><br />ps -- I am SUCH a makeup bag addict. I often buy my makeup in kits since I end up spending less for more items. But then I end up with pieces I don't need (like bags!). If you ever need some, let me know! They need a happy home :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256346844435603766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6783067435150895074.post-34664407110462918422011-03-10T13:21:51.753-08:002011-03-10T13:21:51.753-08:00PS, I laugh when I see your makeup bag collection!...PS, I laugh when I see your makeup bag collection!

What many liked, I felt was too bare. I like warm and cozy - my colors are all greens, browns, and golds - so going completely bare just wasn't my style.<br /><br />My definition of clutter, isn't decorative items, it's more the day to day stuff, and things like that. I'm a shopper. and a Garage Sale-ing fiend! LOL I have had to stop myself from these 2 things. I mean, like MAKE myself NOT go shopping! LOL I'll buy stuff just cuz it's on sale, and I might need it one day! That's the crap I've been decluttering - so much money down the drain. eek!!<br /><br />BTW, I absolutely LOVE LOVE the silver vase the hydrangea is in!! Gorgeous!! :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506765517963056547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6783067435150895074.post-83961044220270691042011-03-10T09:20:50.115-08:002011-03-10T09:20:50.115-08:00Hi Dreamer -- thanks so much!

I'm heading over to your blog right now to read. <br /><br />I too am struggling with the "creep back in" part -- even spots that I've written about in this not-very-old blog have some clutter again! To me it's like weight management -- a constant battle....Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256346844435603766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6783067435150895074.post-84188256297735316342011-03-10T08:58:21.472-08:002011-03-10T08:58:21.472-08:00Good post, and you have inspired me to think about...Good post, and you have inspired me to think about my clutter comfort level.
