it figures...

Mid winter in South Africa,

 so it is a good time for "spring cleaning" - for me that is.

I'd rather spend Printemps outside..planning the garden.

 I much prefer to tidy Armoirs in winter.

The thing is though, that I start  very eagerly, unpacking, make to do lists, and "give away "piles..

add labels to boxed items.

then I discover some books, magazines 

or a box with old photographs pre digital.

and this is where I take a break, have a seat, have a cup of tea and go back in time....

old treasures are moved to  new vignettes

I can almost see them smile and pleased with their new view

 Dd (darling daughter) was barely 5 years old when she pointed at 
the  DE POSI figurine below
and demanded that it should come home with us. 

I like to think that  it was the start of a love for old and precious.

A woman's work is never done.

Some of it will be treated as a priority.

Have a lovely fulfilling week!
