Awhile ago, I looked around the house and was surprised to discover how much I've accumulated over the years. I try to sort through everything once in awhile and reduce.
I do get rid of things occasionally, but my efforts don't seem to have a very big effect. We have a lot of stuff! A Lot! The style around here is definitely not minimalist. Also, I do love to shop!
A partial list of my favorite things to hunt for when I'm out and about:
Tiny birds, and found nests:
and most wonderful bits of sea glass:
paper mache' trays from the 40's, and bird houses:
Sweet little angels:
And lovely linens, candles and shells:
I enjoy finding new pieces to add to my collections, though I've never really thought of them as actual collections. They are just little things I love to use and display around my home, and I'm always thrilled when I find one at a great bargain.
Of course, I'm grateful for the abundance of open space and natural surroundings near our home. I'm lucky that I can go "shopping" in the yard, the fields, and the beaches where we live. It's very affordable, and the best kind of shopping, if you ask me.
Until next time!

I do love your favorite things. The birds and nests, birdcage and linens and of course, sea glass. I have a collection of that, too.
I just came over from Lindsey's blog. I love the mosaic table.
