“Do you have too many dishes or toys, too much furniture? Do you have unnecessary clothes to wash, iron, and mend? You might have magazines and knicknacks collecting dust. Look over each room critically, and discard or transfer to another more appropriate spot anything that doesn’t belong.”

Do I have too many toys, knicknacks, and magazines?
Yes.
Yes I do.
So here on the home front I’ve been working on a little project.
And over at Elizabeth’s place she’s been working on a little something herself.
We’ll share these projects with you soon but for right now…it’s Saturday…and we’ve got to keep moving…so many knicknacks, so little time.

yes, yes, and yes! too much stuff… looking forward to seeing what you have to share…
Oh yes, I live with packrats; this is the time of the year when I typically decide it’s time to start thinning the herd….of knicknacks of course.
we all have too much stuff!! i have been on a cleaning frenzy these past few days. i just needed to have clean windows and a few hundred less spider webs on the porch. man does it feel good once it is all done. i cant wait to see whatcha doing out there:)
I had some overseas visitors recently and decluttered before they came..I was surprised at how much stuff just stays where it’s put on a surface in the living areas..and it looked much better after it was put away again!
We moved in May and decluttered then. I have too much fabric right now but being retired I can’t afford much new so will hold onto what I have, for awhile.
Haha, just saw this post! I TRY my best not to have too many knick knacks, but well….. that didn’t work out. I really do try. That means something, right?
