Everything Old is New Again


Fifty is the new thirty, and brown is the new black, according to the media. Well I have another one. Here, on my wooden floors, sweeping is the new vacuuming. In the time it would take me to get the vacuum cleaner out and all connected up, I can sweep up all the floors with an old-fashioned broom. It's so much more satisfying, every bit as effective and seems much more in keeping with the spirit of my 1920s home. Today I added a very nice wee sewing table to my oak furniture collection. The place is looking pleasingly cluttered with 'age-appropriate' pieces. A friend recently said that entering my home was like stepping into a museum. I rather like that idea.
