I love your stoneware. Blue and white is so classic and timeless. Plus all the memories they hold make them all the more special. <br /><br />Regarding the comments: I never go back to read replies. I don't reply to people on my blog either unless they ask a question. For all the other people I visit their blog and leave a comment for them. <br />xx BecaBecahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024493869226636181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-46780759629735326562017-10-24T14:44:55.041-06:002017-10-24T14:44:55.041-06:00I am sorry to be so late commenting.

I love my stuff to, and have things that have meaning. Like antiques from family and gifts from friends. When everything is well cared for it is so homey, not cluttered. I love your stoneware set...what a treasure to have in your home.

(I love a well ordered home.)<br />And I NEED colour in my life. So I'm slowly reintroducing colour into our home. My very patient, lovely husband recently ordered me a vintage red & yellow tablecloth from Etsy. It's beautiful, from the 1950s. <br />Another thing I've come to realise is that a totally coordinated decor scheme is not for me. I prefer to have the pretties I like around me, in all their varied colours & styles.<br />And with my new relaxed, multi-coloured, eclectic approach to home decor comes a soothing, cosy contentment.<br />From what I've seen of your home Roxy, it seems you like yellow as much as I do. It would be lovely if you would do a home tour. :)<br />KayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-74135641417869496632017-10-18T16:51:17.639-06:002017-10-18T16:51:17.639-06:00LOL My Hubby say's the same thing, but he like...LOL My Hubby say's the same thing, but he likes me to have my treasures!living from glory to gloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123718369605106023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-23473719098746588442017-10-18T16:49:04.966-06:002017-10-18T16:49:04.966-06:00Organized Clutter...

I ...Well, I'm going to rant a moment here . . . I just read about a book on decluttering called Swedish Death Cleaning. Yes. The idea that you should start paring down, as early as in your 50s, decluttering so that when you die your children don't have a mess to deal with. I think what bothered me was the article about it was written by a young woman trying to get her father to get rid of his hobby of clipping book reviews from newspapers so she wouldn't have to deal with all the paper when he died. So selfish! Let him enjoy his stuff! <br />Of course, we should try to have our affairs in order. But tea cups and books and the things that make us happy should have a place in our homes! This minimalism stuff sometimes goes too far.<br />haha rant over. xo Deborah Deborah Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366855994841922862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-67500389446974252382017-10-13T21:59:11.537-06:002017-10-13T21:59:11.537-06:00Your grandmother's stoneware is wonderful, Rox...Your grandmother's stoneware is wonderful, Roxy, and such a treasure to remind you of her every day. I love my 'stuff', too - I'm definitely not a minimalist! I do pack things up and replace them seasonally, though, so as not to get too 'cluttered'. I especially love those things given to me as gifts, and things I've found on shopping trips with loved ones. When I travel, I try to find 'useful' souvenirs to display in my home - things I can use that remind me of special times. My home is also quite small, so I have to be very careful of what I bring home - it has to be 'useful, small and beautiful'. As far as replies on comments, I only return if I have asked a question and only reply on my blog if someone asks me a question. I simply don't have time to reply to everyone, unfortunately. I do try to visit as often as I can, though, because I love my blog friends.

I agree, I like my pretty things in the house too, but clutter isn't good for anyone. It's paperwork it seems that causes so much clutter! And things that are broken and should be gotten rid of. It's so nice to make our homes beautiful.Heavenly Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885287813627213613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-28836981549868439792017-10-11T20:54:41.205-06:002017-10-11T20:54:41.205-06:00What a treasure !!

Nope, no minimalist here...and I do love to share my treasure with my family. Like you said, they are usually tied to memories and leave me with a peaceful feeling. I never go back to visit a blog looking for a reply to me but have inadvertently found one! But there many bloggers who keep the conversation going by their email which is so much easier.
