I stopped going to most stores a few years ago and I am surprised at how much I do not miss shopping. When I want something, I buy that one thing, I buy it online. If I were to go to the mall to get it, the flashy consumer items are tempting in a way that they simply are not online. I rarely NEED clothing so if I find I do, I can get a high quality item (again, just that item) on eBay for a fraction of the cost of a cheaper new item. I am surprised at how well Freecycle can provide for needs (and when the need really was not a need (the breadmaker), I just Freecycle the item back out). And last, I walk my dog every night past homes with garages so full of stuff that the cars do not fit. I look at that and say that I just don't want to be that person. I then go home and Craigslist or Freecycle out another possession or two that I really don't need. It feels great! I am so happy there are so many other people feeling less need for stuff. Spend money on fun activities with your loved ones instead. And yes, I just went through a month of eating out of the freezer and pantry (I had that much built up) and am finally getting down to a few bars of luxury soaps (I must have really though I needed a lot of those previously).

I do this but in pots (which solves the above questioned drainage issue). I live on the north side of my condominium building and haul my veges/herbs to the other side of the building for afternoon sun.

They make it "home".

This would be the one I would vote for if there were more photos! Can the posting be amended with more information/photos?

Stealing the Rise and Shine poster print idea as we speak!

I WANT YOUR CHAIRS! They are fabulous.
