Most of the decluttering happened in the first half of the week and then I crashed physically. I suspect the stress at work is having an effect and there will be a major slow down for the next month or so. That's ok. This is a long term gig.
I also did not do well when faced with temptation at the studio of a local ceramicist. So many beautiful things; hand crafted and glorious. It's a surprise that I only came home with 5 of her pieces. And I'm pretty ok with replacing our mass produced, soulless homewares with handcrafted, meaningful ones.

| 7 | dresses | gift | My mother’s, discovered in a trunk when I cleared out her house. They have proved very difficult to let go of. Most were made by her, many were maternity clothes. I suspect she expected to wear them again, but after two kids and one miscarriage, her longed for third child never eventuated. |
