it's funny when i look at photos of our home
i realize i move things around a lot
and i move things on (to new homes with friends) a lot
it's how i've always been
just like my mom before me
party table, 2010
last friday i helped a friend by sprucing up her home (made a sitting area in her kitchen!) and decorated her home for Christmas (everything but the tree)
she is busy with work...aging parents...nearly grown kids
i was in absolute heaven...my sweet spot...i L O V E interior decorating
she arrived home from work and wa-la!
wish i could have been there to see her face...she sure was excited on the phone
as for Christmas...the decorating is okay
we have a smaller home so it all comes down quickly after the big day
this year the kids scattered after cutting down the tree
so my husband and i decorated our evergreen very simply with white and cream ornaments
i crave fresh...streamlined...clutter-free
like the simple beauty of these paperwhite flowers my friend Julie gives me every year
i love stuff
and i love simple
trying to find the balance
and the beauty

i am seeking my inner cathy, my soul twin! the organized, streamline, passer on of stuff twin. the other twin, the disheveled, disorganized, hoarder of stuff one, ... i'm getting tired of her. :)
