In my Coffeeberry Cottage I want things simple now. 
My Aunts old 1930-40s tea towel that she stitched as a girl and My Moms 1940s China.Reminders of My loved ones and days long ago.
Tin advertising of before I was born.The nurse is advertising Red Cross Stoves.
Very very old bowels
made useful.Simplicity you ask?Yes, because I've stopped buying a lot of new or old things.I look around at My abundance and just keep bringing them back and rearranging them new ways and for new purposes.It brings Me a sense of joy seeing the things that my ancestors used.

Hi Denise,
Simplicity is a good thing. There is a lot of charm to be found in the simple things of life. Very cute teacup and wonderful images of your treasures. Thank you for your lovely comment and joining me for tea today.
Blessings,

there is a certain satisfaction from keeping things simple, especially when you have only the most sentimental of items surrounding you.
i'll raise my teacup to simplicity today too~!

It seems more and more people are finding their path to simplicity these days...I have been on such a path for most of my life...just venturing from it a bit...but,at this time in my life I find myself being drawn more so than ever to the plain path of living and embracing life and all that is around me. I see beauty in the useful things more than ever...bowls,plates,brooms and such... necessary things to the home but,still beautiful and useful in their simplicity to serve. Its always wonderful to own these things that loved ones before held and use daily as well...thanks for sharing ...blessings
Hi Denise,
you are right, we all have lots of things with many memories. To rearrange old things to new beauty is truly a special skill.
Thank you for sharing.
Best greetings, Johanna
Hi, I have enjoyed looking at your photos. I tend to agree with you. There comes a time when we feel inclined to slow down. I often look at things in shops now and think, 'that's lovely', but I don't need it so won't buy it". I too like to rearrange things I already own. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Denise. I noticed you had become a new follower of my blog (& I reciprocated) & now your icon seems to have disappeared. I was wondering if I had said or done something to offend? If I have please let me know.
I love your bowls, favorites of mine. It's fun to use what we have. Fun!

Simplicity sounds great. I love your idea of reusing things by changing them around.
I love all my things that used to belong to one of my family members. They bring back some wonderful memories.
