Hi Oce...Hi Terry - 'curating' I like that!<br /><br />Hi Ocean Breezes... I will always be a hoarder but realistically I need to have a sort out.<br /><br />Hi Gina - yes, I love this book! It's amazing Cliff bought it and I'm glad he did.<br /><br />Hi Catherine - sorry to say I think my office desk drawer can probably beat the 'man-drawer'.<br /><br />Hi Joanna - good to know it connected with you and we're not alone.<br /><br />Hi Wessex Reiver - yes, I now want to find more about LYC.<br /><br />Hi Petoskystone - you kind of clearing out sounds too scary!!!!<br /><br />Hi Frances - difficult isn't it?!<br /><br />Hi Mavis - but it's all useful stuff for our work...<br /><br />Hi Wendy - 'breezy' spot on!<br /><br />Thank you Lesley - it seems this post has touched on a common experience with a lot of you!<br /><br />Hi Acornmoon - other peoples stuff... I know where you're coming from - and haven't an easy answer.<br /><br />Hi Carrie - love the thought of delving through our stuff as archeaology!<br /><br /><br />Celia<br />xCelia Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776686088752602321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-83188902034125880302011-02-16T20:22:43.312+00:002011-02-16T20:22:43.312+00:00oh exciting - a little bit of archaeology, that al...oh exciting - a little bit of archaeology, that always goes down well in this house :)<br />Fabulous story.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475182740888543862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-2322705712629355562011-02-16T17:57:57.860+00:002011-02-16T17:57:57.860+00:00My mantra when doing a bit of clearing is that war...My mantra when doing a bit of clearing is that warehousing costs money. If you love something enough you will not mind too much.<br /><br />It is very energising if not liberating to rid yourself of clutter but when that clutter was loved by one of our dear departed that is quite another kettle of fish.Acornmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982884920388966786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-71932392779447090472011-02-16T11:01:36.416+00:002011-02-16T11:01:36.416+00:00This post made me smile so much Celia, perhaps bec...This post made me smile so much Celia, perhaps because it rang too many bells. I always joke that I married Squirrel Nutkin as he has things going back so many years but it has rubbed off on me and I have become the same! I love the pared back, 'spare' look but it is never going to happen here either!A lovely reminder too of Winifred Nicholson - thank you.

The things that are left are that more meaningful. <br />After my last major clear out, I took the good stuff to a flea market (I believe you call them boot sales) and the money that I made I put into my Art Fund.
