I have an old English friend in my village, I translate for her as in 25 years she never learnt French. She is a hoarder, books and clothes and her large house is full, her garage-s are full, her basement is full. She asked me to find someone to build a small extension for her, I said no ! These days I buy something I give something, slowly improving, it's a slippery slope and I do watch the TV show on YT 'Hoarders' to prevent me from one day being a hoarder ! That said, tomorrow we are off to Emmaus !

Percy and Isabelle are couple goals, so heartwarming and adorable. A great stash of furniture and treasures for the chateau, can't wait to see it all put into place. It's equally fun to see the destashing, makes me want to destash my own home. Hoping to get my legs working again to do that job. It's often difficult to let go of things that once gave you joy. I was a rainy day hoarder so I get it, you are doing well letting go Stephanie. I do like the pink sofa it indeed looks like a snuggly place to sit.

I remember Louise Hay recommending we say, "I'm cleaning out the closets of my mind" when doing a clear out. It really is like that, though, isn't it? Releasing the dusty past that once served a purpose and now moves on from our lives. I love how Marie Kondo has us thank our things as we release them.

Most of our renovation are completed now on the house just starting to go around the house looking at where we need to paint and freshen up .
