November

Can you believe it's November already? It is true that time speeds up as I get older. And memory starts to evaporate. And stuff, the years of accumulation of stuff. I look around and I see so many things that I no longer need to own. Things that own me. 

I've started to clear out years worth of collected textiles, listing them for sale at one of my Etsy shops: WickedWaifVintage. I gently launder them by hand, and I iron them once they are clean and dry. As I handle each piece, my appreciation for the work that went into it is renewed. It's so easy to become attached all over again. I find myself pondering - do I really want to let this go? I work hard at making sure the answer is YES. It's time to let go. To make space, space to breathe.
