Thank you for these garden source lists. I have a big stack of catalogs going back 20 years or more. With these lists I should be able to throw out a lot of old stuff and still be sure of finding good sources. My sons are urging me to purge before I die, so they have less clutter to declutter. ;-)

Read the book, ‘The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning,’ or watch some You Tube videos on the subject. It sounds horrible, but it really helps cut the clutter.

I’m 61 now, and have no one to leave my ‘stuff’ to (other than my Sister who will steal my good jewelry off my cold, lifeless body), so I am in CONSTANT de-clutter mode.

I’m pretty happy with my closets, but dresser drawers need some work. And I own too many socks, but this IS Wisconsin where I don’t think that’s a possibility! I am NOT a ‘minimalist’ by any stretch when it comes to home decor, not to mention all the taxidermy animals belonging to Beau that fill our home, LOL! :)

Meh. Sis knows where the St. Vincent’s is for charitable donations, and she reads as much as I do, so she’ll keep the books, I’m sure. ;)
