The start of #downsizing has begun.
I wish I could go back to my younger self and convince her that the tiny beach shack or small rustic old cabin she always dreamt of was enough.
A big #suburban #home was always too much.
Time for me to stop keeping up with the Joneses and back to #Appalachia where I belong.
#Downsizing is going a bit better than expected in that I am allowing myself to release years of clothing that were never worn or sentimental tshirts. I even found a "lost" pin that was on a jacket waaaay back in the closet. 💕
But, everything came to a full stop when I reached my #hockey sweater (aka #jersey) collection. Almost each are autographed & some I inherited from my brother. 😱

The #downsizing adventure continues... #MarieKondo says keep what sparks joy.
For me, that includes old wooden floors, a few good memories, and a pair of boots made for walking.
Everything else? Thank it kindly and let it go (but that is really tough with a lifetime of memories: concert tshirts, stupid #souvenirs, #inherited treasures that really are not treasures, etc).

I am embarrassed to say that this pantsuit still had tags and was never worn.
A small tag with an interesting location. I was shocked to see "Made in Ukraine". Something I would NOT have glanced at 20 years ago.
This suit carries the quiet marks of the 1990s & 100% polyester, built to last, wrinkle-resistant, and ready for everything. The tag tells its own journey: Made in Ukraine, part of the #global #textile shift of the late 20th century when #clothing production spread across the world. All but gone today.
Sometimes the smallest label is a little time capsule stitched into fabric. Who would have guessed that I clean out my closet to find a garment made in now war torn Ukraine.

A really really tough question about #downsizing....
Downsizing my life and starting with the closet. Hiding in the very dark part of the closet, sitting alone on a shelf and I’m staring at *those* jeans 👖
You know the ones: goal jeans.
Is this still a thing?
I haven’t fit in them in years, but somehow they still hold hope, memories, and a little stubbornness. Actually, probably more wishful thinking than anything else. 😂
Do I keep them for motivation or let them go and accept who I am now?
