A Smaller Life - A Smaller Price Tag


I was in a shopping mood

But not with a shopping budget

So I rifled the rails in four charity shops

And found treasures to buy in three of them



A 'Klass' top


A 'VanHeusen' floral extravaganza 


A 'Fat Face' fine knit


A bog standard 'George' check shirt that called out to me


A Principles 'Ben De Lisi' top


And finally a stripey  Marks and Spencer 'Autograph' top


I also bought a taupe coloured scarf

A long, wide Pasmina style number

But that's to use as a door curtain

Sometimes Smaller lives get draughty



Not a bad haul 

Six things for me to wear

And one for the 'van

For less than £30


I'm happy ... and still solvent

A Still Life



A Still Life 



Just a mantlepiece 

Filled with bits and bobs

Things that are useful

Things that are beautiful

William Morris would have approved 



Treasures

From my still life

I Choose Less


Suddenly

You get to an age

Or a time in your life 

When there could be so much to do

The decision is 

To do more

Or less


I choose less

For now

Punctuated and Back



I love travel

I also love my cosy Smaller home 

I don't do so well in the spotlight

But I can support the one there

For a limited time


Slightly more than half dressed is my thing

And cussing is too


I never impose on someone else what they should do

But if asked 

I will say what I would do



But I'm forever being told 

What I do is not right 

Not acceptable

Not understandable 


What do I say to that

Bollocks !!



Punctuated and back.
