That sounds lovely, Freda; peaceful, which is my goal for our home cleanout.

I have to stay off my feet for a little while, so the decluttering has slowed down. I am decluttering cactus spines from my arm while typing this, with a layer of wood glue doing the work as it dries.

A surprise gift from a faraway friend included some special teas to sip, so that's my inspiration for printing out unfinished poems to complete before the New Year takes hold. That's the best kind of decluttering in my view!

Stilly has me thinking of perfume bottles now. My father once gave me a pretty bottle of red rose perfume he bought in England. The neck was damaged long ago and the remaining perfume leaked out. Wish I could find a replacement complete with contents.

I wish you all a joyful New Year and tranquil houses filled with light and air and only true treasures, no cultch.
