I've been on a serious mission to declutter for a couple of years now. One thing I've done is take photos of things I care about but no longer want to keep. Sometimes all I need is the memory.
It's funny you brought this up. I was at my Mom's this past weekend and we were talking about my favorite dress when I was little. I called it my Cherry dress and Mom said I wanted to wear it every day! I would kill to have that dress now so I could put it in a quilt but Mom gave it to our neighbors when I outgrew it.
I have my Dad's Pendleton shirts that he lived in when home and I'm going to make something for my sister and me out of them. The fabrics are just as lovely as they were years ago.
I'm just getting really tired of "stuff" !!!
One of my sons was here recently and he said "Mom, the house is starting to look rather spartan"!!!
It made me laugh b/c he and his wife are minimalists but I guess he is just used to all my stuff hahaha
I told him I'm trying to emulate them
