Cozy Comparatively Catatonic Chat šŸˆšŸ˜»

My husband Marie Kondos things. It stems from the fact that his father is the worlds largest hoarder. The dude has more butter containers than Iā€™ve ever seen in my life. And he buys stuff at Costco and sticks it in this back bedroom that you canā€™t even walk in because heā€™s got shit stacked to the ceiling.
I can understand why he throws things out. It just bothers me.
 
So the kids school/ art stuff thats great get a picture before going in the recycle bin.
That's a prime example of stuff the photographing works well for. Or big items that you don't use.

The big items I have are furniture and very much in use. One is working as a bedside table (though it's a shelf). I also have my grandma's jewellery box, carved by my uncle I've barely seen, on the war front (trench warfare phase, they had plenty of time).

And that's the kind of stuff I prefer as mementos, even from holiday trips. Something I'll actually use.

One of my problems is my own artwork.
 
I think the word is 'things' plural. You don't need things. But something is OK. Just pick one thing. And repurpose the rest.
If only I would take my own advice... what time are you getting here to start my house? šŸ˜‰šŸ¤£
OMG... are you my husband?!?!? How are you quoting him? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

As soon as I finish purging here, I'll pick up Daisy & we'll head your way!
 
I donā€™t have a lot of stuff from either of my parents. I have my grandmotherā€™s good dishes, and my great grandmotherā€™s special glasses. A duck decoy my great grandpa carved. A big framed pic of the dairy. My dadā€™s service medals and the flag from his funeral. My mom and dadā€™s wedding picture. And my brotherā€™s hat. Sentimental stuff. If I keep too much, things tend to disappear. šŸ™„
My parents have so much crap... I'm already telling myself I only can keep one or two things when they pass.

Also, tell your husband you will Marie Kondo his ass. šŸ˜‚

Thatā€™s the factā€¦. I have half a dozen things of each of my parents and my grandparentā€¦ enough to remember them but not enough to overwhelm my house.
My house is overwhelmed with boxes of memories. šŸ˜‚
My unpacking is mostly done at my new place besides purging ā€¦.. now itā€™s a honey-do list ā€¦. Basically none of the things are things I can do ā€¦.

Well, I probably could ā€¦ but I donā€™t want to.
My husband is complaining that I'm working him all night/weekends with stuff to hang. He forgets one night I begged him to put down his new drill so we could sleep. He was walking around with it looking for excuses to use it. šŸ˜‚

I have thought about telling him that I could hold his balls in one hand and decide if it gives me a feeling of joy or not and throw them out if not šŸ˜šŸ˜‚
