Lately I've been thinking that since I started this blog I have been looking very judgementally (and rightly so) around the house for things that I can declutter. All a bit negative.
As a bit of light relief, I thought I might make Tuesday a day to appreciate the things that I do enjoy having around me. Not because of $$ value, but just because they are special to me for whatever reason.
I'd be happy for you to join in - with apologies in advance if this is a bit twee and/or it has all been done before!
These are my two little love birds. Well I think of them as love birds, but when I look at them now they are just sparrows. Always loving to each other and they have been on every window sill on each house or flat I've lived in since I left home to go to uni.
I just love them - not fine china and a looking a bit tatty now - but they are there every day for me when I do the washing up!
cheers Wendy

I will join in with you and link back from my blog. It's one am Tuesday morning here in the UK,just about to go yo bed but I will put my picture up first :)
Decluttering for me is moving on those things that I no longer use or have been sitting around in the dark forgotten corners of my house or shed. Like you, I have some items that I simply cannot bear to part with for no other reason than they bring a smile to my face, and has nothing to do with their monetary value.
Thanks for sharing a little piece of your happiness!
I have a tiny deer that has followed me around from house to house, just like your sparrows! She 'lives' on a shelf near the kitchen (but she's packed away right now, ready for our next move).
