I grew up with very cynical older generations who had seen disaster, depression, war, rationing, unemployment - so if there was a good sale on, say, a nice navy or green wool fabric, you can bet that 1 or 2 dress lengths would find their way into a bottom drawer somewhere.

The Konmari method is all over the internet but from what I read I agree, it looks way too drastic.<br />I find interesting that you ended your post with a video of David Bowie, looks like a good bye...Stephaniehttp://www.lecomptoirdestephanie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-5731656906471269282016-01-11T18:03:19.183-04:002016-01-11T18:03:19.183-04:00I have seen it - you are right - it's wonderfu...I have seen it - you are right - it's wonderful and well worth a watch!WendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-66473965601716635992016-01-11T17:18:55.181-04:002016-01-11T17:18:55.181-04:00Wendy, did you ever watch the dicumentary "Fi...Wendy, did you ever watch the dicumentary "Five Years"?

I wro...I am so sad!!! We loved, loved, loved him. <br /><br />I wrote this on Facebook this morning:<br /><br />I am so sad. David Bowie was a genius and a musical hero of mine for decades. He was the first dance at my wedding, the soundtrack of drives across Canada, the music I played at full volume on the way home from the hospital when my mother was dying. Hunky Dory was my favourite album and Is There Life on Mars my favourite song. He also provided me with ongoing perspective on mine and subsequent generations with these iconic lines from Changes: And these children that you spit on, as they try to change their world, are immune to your consultations, they're quite aware of what they're going through...<br /> Glad I got to see him in concert and thinking of the two I know who loved him best: Barry MacKnight and Mark William Lutes. Can't think of Ziggy without thinking of them. RIP David.<br /><br />Really, this hit me as hard as when JOhn and George passed....WendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-85669485681626943892016-01-11T08:41:32.025-04:002016-01-11T08:41:32.025-04:00Oh.

You have to let me know how the feng shui goes.I am with you trying to begin the year eating well, exercising more and buying only what I need. I really am trying not to shop and instead spend time doing things that I put off like doing my house, clearing out, organizing photos and writing. Let's see if I can keep it up, but I think it's great to have a fresh start. Love the Fitbit! Love Bowie too. He is inspirational. xo Kimkim at northerncalstyle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12710545630442890027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-52443052138756997672016-01-09T12:46:02.464-04:002016-01-09T12:46:02.464-04:00You are off to a great start in 2016!
