I couldn’t help taking a picture of this pioneer spice rack when I was visiting a festival over Memorial Day.  Isn’t it beautiful?

I noticed how earthy and sturdy things looked in the pioneer canopies that were set up to show old world skills.

 

I saw things made of wood and brass, crockery and copper, wicker, colored glass and cast iron.  There was no plastic in sight!  And no garbage!  Think of it; the pioneers didn’t have garbage!

 

What do you own that is high quality and made to last?  Those items can serve us for years and keep things simple. I inherited two of my Granny’s metal, wood handled measuring cups. They are so superior to any of the plastic sets I own.

How many dishes and utensils do we actually use?  How many do we actually need?  My goal is to continue to lighten my kitchen load and make things easier to care for by just having less in the drawers and cupboards.

As you are paring down and deciding what it is that you really need, think of the value of having less to care for and more time to live!

I hope the week has gotten off to a good start for you.

Lots of love coming your way!
