I have a dear friend who is a hoarder. She goes to thrift shops about every two or three days and fills up her van mostly with dishes. Says they are so pretty she can't resist them. Her house is filled with stuff, though there is a path through it. I am constantly cleaning my house and have a bag in the laundry room for giveaways to thrift shops. I inherited all my mother's things which she inherited from her mother. So now I am giving away and cleaning like crazy. I love a very clean orderly house. Now if you could see my quilting room when I am in the throes of piecing, you would think two different women live in this house. It's very clean, just messy. I usually have about 3 or 4 quilts going at one time.
