Re: Stuff!

Here's a link to an article I just read.

We need to stop buying stuff – and I know just the people to persuade us (msn.com)

It sort of resonated with me.

Is there anyone else out there who is a bit guilty of accumulating-stuff?

I've been telling myself for years I need to declutter before I die but I have gone from a home that housed 3 kids to an empty nest where those 3 bedrooms are still full. How did that happen!

Sitting right next to me in a big bag next to the computer are lots of high heel shoes I have decided I can live without and which I barely wore.😑

Yet I still love it when there's a delivery. The latest yesterday was of Christmas ornaments.

Does anyone else here have too much of anything they think might need a sort?

I had a Bric-a-Brac shop in the eighties.

I collected so much stuff to 're-sell for my retirement'.

The garage is still chockers with shop stock.

.......................and still it comes through the front door.

I pity the person who has to sort out my house. (That would be daughter)

I just hope they know the diamonds from the dross.

Errr…. Does two double garages, plus a storage shed full of ~~**bleep**~~ stuff count?
mind you, we are currently erecting another double garage to move the current stuff, so we can renovate the double garage it’s currently sitting in…. Now there’s logic for you 😂

@stawks…. My mother also had a nick-nak shop in the 80’s. That kinda stuff was very popular back then.

I’m terribly addicted to antiques and garage sales.. Marketplace is my new ‘go to’….
I truly honestly COMPLETELY need to down size my ‘stuff’ 😎

Me too. I love markets, weird stuff, and I like to be surprised... Actually it is more than love. I am totally addicted to markets and garage sales too.

OMG garage sales and vintage, talking my language.

I look at stuff on marketplace I am not even interested in buying.

But every now and again it gets me in like the cake baking tin for $5 and currently immersed in 2 tier cake stands.

I was once asked at an interview, *why I wanted this job?*

…I replied: because I’m addicted to buying antiques 😁

(I got the job) 😂

I am a total minimalist - but can't figure why I have so much crop.

I'm working on it. 🤣
