Hello everyone and welcome to "I like Thursdays" sponsored by LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color.
Things I like this week include rain. We've been getting showers and although it hasn't removed us from the drought zone, at least we are now considered to be in a "Moderate Drought" region.
I'm beginning to feel better after a spell of cold/flu that I caught from my brother. My brother has been picking up Lucky in the morning and keeping him until about 3 or so. I actually got some really good naps in during this spell. It's been a beneficial time for all of us. Thanks Jim!
It tickles me that the younger generations have discovered the allure of old and vintage items for the house. Decades ago, I called my decor "Early American Nana" because so much of my decor came from my grandmothers. Now the fad is "Cottage Core" and "Grandma Core". There's also "Dark Academia" and "Light Academia" decor...we used to refer to that as Georgian, Victorian, or Edwardian decor. I don't care what words that the kids use to define their home furnishings. I'm just glad they are investing in real wood aka vintage or antique furniture. The truth is that most of the older furnishings don't go out of style. They are timeless.
Love this quote:
Today's prompt is:
"Do you do spring cleaning ? All over or just clear out the yard of
debris for example, just do a thorough dust collection, or purging of clothing no longer wanted?"
Yes. The emphasis is on the garden. I just cleaned and cleared out my sewing room last weekend because it was raining. But my main focus is the garden. I pace myself so that I don't ruin my body but it is progressing slowly but surely.
How about you? Are you doing the same?
Have a safe and happy weekend!

I am delighted to hear that the younger ones are now appreciating the older things. There was a time when they weren't interested at all. I hope the trend continues!
Our house is a mixture of things we've bought ourselves and hand-me-downs from family. It definitely has its own personality! Glad yougetting some rain and getting time in the garden, too!
I agree that older stuff has character. And smiling is definitely contagious! :-)
