I am all for taking note of what you already have whether it be in "things" clothes or even what is around you as you will have gathered from my posts about where I live!

I may be going at it from a different angle to several of you, but the horsey world is filled with 'must haves' that I find I don't actually need at all, when what I already have still functions perfectly well. I'm no longer sure why I need seven of the same thing, but all in different colours!Autumn Misthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13970884029498352422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-81301383541779133792011-10-06T19:02:50.591+02:002011-10-06T19:02:50.591+02:00Excellent idea and I'm up for it.

I totally agree that we encourage each other to get out there and see what we can find in the charity shops - I know I sometimes have thought "blimey I have nothing to show on my blog!") In a slightly worried way too - which is nuts.<br /><br />So I think that showing appreciation for what we have, and rearranging things to enjoy them all over again, is a super idea.<br /><br />BTW - I also thought your fire fan was some sort of axe. :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257653410136495378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-63887616419735451262011-10-06T18:27:37.049+02:002011-10-06T18:27:37.049+02:00SO glad to read it is a fire fan.

It is easy just to take for granted the things that we have, so perhaps we'll see them in a different light through your idea.Elizabethdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405703727112759947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-8901678661687991332011-10-06T15:09:25.263+02:002011-10-06T15:09:25.263+02:00I agree the rearranging and putting them in differ...I agree the rearranging and putting them in different rooms for a completely different function than before....some of my favorite joys!<br />I love your fabric boxes and your tins!<br />P.s. i still love to shop just not very often so its more of an event now.polkadotpeticoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642636842463149894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-41331682239715549832011-10-06T13:33:05.815+02:002011-10-06T13:33:05.815+02:00I love the displays of the precious items you have...I love the displays of the precious items you have repurposed.

It affected our boys' view of buying and owning 'stuff' most positively!<br /><br />And thanks for all your comments so far - it does seem we are all on the same wavelength, which Carolyn sums up beautifully.Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-9558981774735432122011-10-06T13:03:06.199+02:002011-10-06T13:03:06.199+02:00I like what Carolyn says above.

I do think it's encouraging to read about how people conduct their lives with all the stuff that comes with THAT, but I also so enjoy trying to figure out why we have certain preferences. I think it does go back to our ancestresses.
