Welcome.

This is all about the stuff that accompanies my (and my family's) life. The things that I have found or bought, that have been passed down, on or across. These trappings usually buoy but sometimes weigh and some gain in significance as time passes. It's about great bargains and rare finds, lucky and satisfying culinary successes, items I covet and about controlling the clutter. Dust is a pest and I am always doing battle. Could I live in a minimalist household? I couldn't. It would bore me senseless!
