Stuff

Recently, I have been feeling overwhelmed by the amount of things we have in the Bramble household. Inheriting my mother-in-laws furniture and other bits hasn't helped but I have to say we were pretty packed before.
I've never considered myself a hoarder but in the last few years I have acquired lots of 'stuff' and put more and more things on display, and not hidden away in cupboards as I used to do.
I mentioned previously that we are having work done in the house and today I had to clear as much as possible from the kitchen.
Looking at it cleared I realised how cluttered it had become!
And, I also realise how much I like it less cluttered. Of course, I live in a little house with Mr B and the boys so it's not practical, or possible, to keep it this clear.
Every weekend recently I have been sorting more and more bits to give to charity or dump and it feels really good!
My challenge here is to not put as much 'stuff' back in the kitchen after the work is completed!! (I also need to give it a MASSIVE clean - how does it get that dirty? I THINK I keep things clean...)
Sadly, I only managed three days of a clear craft room - this is how it is now!
Any tips on keeping things under control would be very welcome.
Have a lovely day!

Fun Finds

I've not had a trip to any charity shops (so far) this week, but I've had a few fab finds on ebay.
Here goes....
A 'bits and pieces' box that I will paint, back with nice paper and hopefully, find somewhere to hang it!

Some beautiful grass green linen (my favourite shade of green) that I will use to make a dress.

A vintage school poster that will look even better framed.
My husband likes steam railways so I'll give the framed poster to him as a gift.

Thanks for visiting.
