Sigh…
I can breathe.
In my 40 bags in 40 days challenge for myself,
which has looked more like
20 gigantic bags to this point,
I cleared out one of my china cabinets.
Yes… I said one of…
From my more active entertaining days,
the bottom shelf of this cabinet held
42
crystal wine and water goblets.
Who was I having over?
An entire orchestra?
Now I can breathe.
Especially with my new ironstone tureen
from
Glory B’s in Geronimo.
Sigh…
Does anyone else fixate on handles?
You have seen my other favorite.
Here is the moral of the story
about
the words
more and less.
Sometimes when I have more,
I see less.
