enough

"I could have bought trays to line up everything neatly in rows, but I didn’t want to buy more stuff to hold my stuff. It’s just one drawer and it’s not out in the open."
That is exactly how I feel about keeping our home clean and organized. From Small Notebook for a Simple Home: The Lost Rule of Organizing
This reminded me of what Mary at Owlhaven wrote last week.
"In the middle of that movie, while watching a man offering gracious hospitality in the doorway of his 5 x 6 foot shack, my longing for new dishes and new floors in my comfortable home seemed as stupid and frivolous as socks on a turkey."

  1. I had that dollhouse too! I loved it so much. I still have two of the little dolls. After seeing this picture, I can't believe I can remember that wallpaper. The little table with the fold-down top and the sofa and footstool - so sweet! I wonder what happened to it. I think I'll look for it the next time I go back home.
