charm is charm & sweet is sweet

I often think how it might be so much easier to not have all

my sweet holiday & seasonal collections...to not add & change

my home's feel multiple times a year.  I think that I should pick

a number ~~ say 10, and then only have that many items for 

each celebration.  

And then I look about, at all my dear, sweet, charmers

that join me at different times of the year...how I would 

miss them all.

So, instead I think about converting the space over our 

summer kitchen into storage for all my dear hearts.  This 

space was once a home for hired workers on this farm...

now it is insulated and empty and closed.  What if I added

open shelves and could "shop" my own vintage collection?

What if I didn't have to pack & put away.  What if all my 

littles simply lived in their own room at the top of the stairs,

waiting for their turn to rotate into the farm's other rooms?

Then my mom's floral teapot and adorable sugar & creamer 

would have their turn.  And ducks, frogs & bunnies galore 

would not have a number, just a continued space in this 

heart of mine.  I like that idea so much better....because, 

truly, in the land of Kari ~~ more is indeed more.  And sweet

is sweet....and charm is charm.
