Ema Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 As I just purchased 9 books online after just having raided our local thrift store and coming home with an armload of books, and after encouraging my sister to put extra cheese in her bread, my obvious answer would be there is no such thing as too much cheese or too many books. My dear mother would probably say toilet paper, my brother-in-law would probably say shoes. What about you? What do you say you can never have too much of? Cozy blankets? Pencils? Math manipulatives? And if you want to share your favorites or favorite place to get your favorites, that would be fun too! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbutton Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I love the question. Houseplants Happy blue pens (black ink is depressing); they don't need to be fancy Vintage linens (doilies, etc.) "Just right" sewing/knitting/craft supplies = small, practical stuff that doesn't take up much room that gives you flexibility on projects, such as double pointed knitting needles in a variety of sizes or extra DMC colors so you have a whole palette when you want to whip up something small and fast, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I’m right there with you on the cheese. After several years of purging, I don’t know that I have anything but cheese on my list, lol. Books DO take the most space in my house, but I can’t add, only replace. I like an extensive array of office supplies, but I’m at my limit. I love a good coffee mug, but we definitely have too many. So just keep giving me the cheese! Okay, wait. Gun to my head, I can’t ever have too many fuzzy slipper socks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I'm really a "less is more" person, but maybe some non-material things like: Time for sleep / rest / arts appreciation / nature appreciation.

Guest Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 9 hours ago, elegantlion said: Books Bags - I have way too many backpacks and messenger bags. This past summer, I was looking at LL Bean's totes, with the thought that I would get one for DD. They were on sale and I think had free monogramming at the time. Only, when I showed it to dd, she was pretty lukewarm; she already had a couple of bags for the beach and couldn't see a need for one. So I bought myself one. But when it arrived (with free monogramming, lol!) I had to ask myself WHY in the WORLD did I buy myself another one of these bags! I don't need one AT ALL. The main one I already use for this purpose is actually better suited to it because it is dark blue, so it takes a lot of abuse before it looks scruffy. The new one is cream colored...doh. I love those darned totes, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
