Although I just inherited my mother's massive collection of decorative cocktail napkins and am realizing one women's treasure, another's trash and I don't want my daughter burdened by my collection of - yes - pretty, unused journals!<br /><br />You've inspired me. And a reminder when I stuff things away for later, I am often acting on the belief that I will not have enough, that abundance is not my world and I don't want to believe that anymore!Lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01584878249959334936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682069868073233560.post-1187092558689018672010-10-21T15:37:02.138-05:002010-10-21T15:37:02.138-05:00Kerri.

Probably a lot of it is "someday" possessions.<br /><br />BUT, I can't really talk because I love the hunt for vintage stuff. If I'm not careful, I might end up the crazy lady with the garage full of randomness.Heatherhttp://www.themodernhive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682069868073233560.post-26575591727021430072010-10-20T04:26:34.085-05:002010-10-20T04:26:34.085-05:00I can't use things My friends or family gave m...I can't use things My friends or family gave me as gifts. I put them away and keep them like treasures. But I use and crash and ruin everything I buy by myself. Sometimes I feel like I should have more care and consideration of my things, but it's stronger than me. But in my studio I have a whole cabinet wich is filled wiyh gifts from my friends and family, and tehre is no way I'm gonna use those.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682069868073233560.post-73154734206056666192010-10-19T21:17:49.531-05:002010-10-19T21:17:49.531-05:00well, this is definitely something that you should...well, this is definitely something that you should use everyday...just for the laugh factor!amy friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990100568515103647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682069868073233560.post-62172667060298254272010-10-19T19:27:23.028-05:002010-10-19T19:27:23.028-05:00So recognizable!

So interesting how the "saving for a perfect time" behavior is a form of hoarding. After watching hoarders (the show) the other day, certainly enough to scare me into using all my good stuff that I'm saving!Jadynhttp://dutchbritishlove.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682069868073233560.post-45617651286281788792010-10-19T18:54:09.253-05:002010-10-19T18:54:09.253-05:00Feelin' figgy is a good thing!!

Funny, I had not watched that show before (Hoarders), but last night I was kind of under the weather and was curled up in blankets and found myself mesmerized by it. I don't understand it at all, in terms of the power that stuff has over them, but I can relate to what you are saying here! Saving the "good stuff" - oh yea, guilty! That journal cover is definitely one of a kind, but it will still be there even when you fill it with words!

When really what we should be treasuring and celebrating is the here and now! I'm thrilled you lit those candles and enjoyed them so.<br />What a sparkling inspiration you are, dear Kerri. Time I started following your lead and doing the same - enjoying each moment because its special and worth acknowledging.<br />Hugs xxxJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207174694276873651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682069868073233560.post-55260312355286142812010-10-19T15:40:17.136-05:002010-10-19T15:40:17.136-05:00I do that too!!!! with candles...I won't want...I do that too!!!! with candles...I won't want to use them because I hate the thought that they'll be gone if I do.

I remember buying my mother a very nice set of pajamas at Victoria's Secret many years ago and having her comment that she was going to save them to be buried in!!! After she passed (and elected to be cremated), I found those pajamas when I was cleaning out her house, and they had obviously been well worn and loved (to my great relief).Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338983050389000985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682069868073233560.post-17951237329348546452010-10-18T19:47:29.793-05:002010-10-18T19:47:29.793-05:00That is so funny because I do the same thing - I p...That is so funny because I do the same thing - I put things away for "someday". I am trying to break that habit because I've saved perfumes and lotions only to have them go bad and not be able to use them and I have saved clothing for way too many years. I also have a hard time using up my scrapbooking supplies but am trying to remind myself that new stuff that I'm sure to like will be there when I need it in the future.<br />Enjoy those candles!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176698364443082869noreply@blogger.com
