How lovely that you found that gardening book, like the one your mum owned. I rather like the marigolds clustered in pots. I am trying to de clutter too, it is an on going saga with me!

I guess it also applies to possessions, especially books. I find it difficult to part with them but have to for space reasons so I usually donate them to the library or leave them at the train station for others to pick up; then I walk into an antiques store and find a copy of Moby Dick from 1920 and have to cart it home. Oh well.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548038213207928436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-190215871722022552012-06-13T12:24:01.849-04:002012-06-13T12:24:01.849-04:00I remember this gardening book.

Reading as a child was my salvation. I remember being in a flea markety type store browing the books & finding myself in tears as I encountered a set of books I remember on my own bookshelves as a child. So glad you found the same book your mother used for gardening...what a sweet memory to have!Ashlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056573219551250815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-35372044506830609092012-06-13T10:12:05.004-04:002012-06-13T10:12:05.004-04:00Hello Jen:
