I am so sad! I don't need any more Things!
Comments (25)Pamala...that was deep :oP And in my case quite correct :) I actully feel a connection with the things I add to my home. A lovely little cordial glass can give me as much or more pleasure as an antique piece of jewelry. I love that the things were held in someone's hand a hundred years ago :) and now I get to enjoy them. I've always been this way, from a canning jar to a yellow ware bowl, I just love the joy of old stuff :oP And now I have an excuse to need more...so the hunt continues. And I will say, it's the hunt and kill aspect that makes it so much more fun than if I just walked into a store and said "I'll take that and that and that" to fill spaces verses searching for the perfect silly little thing...which normally I don't find, it finds me :o) I will say, I also have really gotten into the hunt to give away as well! I just gave habitat for humanity enough stuff from this house to fill three truck loads. I love losing the clutter and love that losing it meant it went to help someone else have a home some day or fill a home someday (our habitat store is a nice thrift store and it's a wonderful place to shop). I did the same thing in alaska when we moved into our finished house. It was great to donate a huge heap of very usable stuff that no longer apealed to me or I didn't have a need for anymore. Maybe I have house focused bulemia? Binge and purge syndrome...only instead of food I binge on silly things like antique canning jars LOL...See MoreI doubt I'll post any more pictures
Comments (18)It never occurred to me that any pics posted would be considered private, even tho' GW seemed "little" and kind of closed. I always thought it odd when people posted pics of their children, though and wished people wouldn't. But now it seems like facebook is the world's family picture album, so posting here probably seems benign to some. I do think it's kinda funny that someone who posted ad nauseum pictures of her home as the perfect example of something on nearly every thread (even tho it wasn't), is now crying about how many pictures she has are out there (I'm not referring to anyone on this thread). It was annoying even when it was just GW and I don't really believe she ever intended to remove them, even tho' she's crying foul because she can't. But she's just some stranger out in cyberspace and her (and our) pics mean nothing to anyone else. If no one posted pics, none of us would be able to search for things we'd like to see examples of. So we are just adding to the collective of decorating ideas that are out there....See Moreany ideas on what more I can put under this mirror? table etc.
Comments (9)I am sorry, but in my opinion the mirror is sort of big for that spot and anything you put under it should have open legs because of the vent. If you want to leave the mirror, how about a wrought iron stand with a plant in it? Plant should be bushy like a fern or a pothos....See MoreCan anyone see any pictures any more?
Comments (11)I can. I'm using 64-bit Windows 10 and Firefox 64-bit as well. Real geeky specs which tells me that the developer/tech staff are using similar, it works for them and they didn't bother testing before they rolled out this latest version. Cretins. I have worked in web development and the first law of web development is: test across all browsers/devices before you send it live...See Moreeld6161
