Minimalism

Minimalism is something that has always appealed to me.

A while ago I came across this documentary Minimalism.

Eventually we were able to watch the documentary by the the minimalists

and even the kenderman was warming up to this idea
of downsizing and a simpler life. Yes!

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be a hardcore minimalist (big smile)

Lately I've been reading this book:
goodbye, things by Fumio Sasaki.
This book really inspired me!

I started going through our books and I filled three boxes for charity.
The next thing was saying goodbye to most of our DVD's.
Still hanging on to just a few DVD's, for now...
We'll probably get rid of them later (smile).
And another 3 bags with clothes left the house,
pretty soon after the 5 large bags 2 months ago.

I really love to be surrounded with beautiful things,
so I'll hold on to a few more objects, not being limited to necessities only.

Like this "unnecessary" but beautiful hand carved Japanese coffee bean scoop...
