July Declutter


7 dressmaking paper patterns
1 reproduction of a painting 
1 children’s book in Italian
1 pair of trousers

At work, we are sometimes able to take home some dressmaking patterns. I've found myself collecting an number of them. So far, I haven't made a singe one of the patterns!  It's time for a cull.

When we were in Ireland, many years ago, I bought a reproduction of a painting from one of the museums in Dublin. At the time I was swithering, but the desire to have a tangible memory of the visit won out. The reproduction was bought, even through I was not in love with it. 

This poor print has languished in its transport tube since then. It's time to let it go, and to remember to only buy art I love, or that provokes joy. The giraffe in the entrance hall makes me smile each time I see it. That's the sort of art I need and want in my home.
