It's about 6-8 large tote bags, I suppose. Maybe a little more. Not a room full, thankfully :) I do keep books, and I'm glad to have them, but I'm not as attached to them as I used to be. I feel myself very slowly becoming less attached to old keepsakes. I find myself letting go of them to the children or somebody else who might benefit from them. I don't want to get close to being a hoarder. Known a few folks with that disorder, and it's so damaging to one's life and relationships!M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-81724707448731075402016-07-10T13:00:04.184-07:002016-07-10T13:00:04.184-07:00i don't hoard, but i also don't like to ru...i don't hoard, but i also don't like to run out of stuff, so i try to have a minimum of essentials on hand. :) glad you had the trees trimmed.

I don't hoard yarn or fabric, I don't really have a stash, I do have some "leftovers" and "to be used" but not just yarn bought just because with no purpose in mind to just stash. The only exception is the 6 balls of yarn I showed in my last podcast which I won, I have no purpose for those right now, so I guess they are stash! I was interested that so many of our books are similar! Have you ever read Miss Read? I think you would really like her books!Amy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-20716463542381677682016-07-09T08:22:38.189-07:002016-07-09T08:22:38.189-07:00Well, well my dear.... we ARE birds of a feather!
...Well, well my dear.... we ARE birds of a feather!<br />I too would be sitting there while others got on the business end of that tree!<br />I also hoard books: many, many Bibles and books about my walk with Jesus. Different versions of Little Women too. Lots and lots of journels and every Rosuamunde Pilcher book I can get my hands on.<br />I much prefer one on one to a group outing any day... heart to heart :-)<br />I do confess to hoarding yarn... it IS my passion plus it's my "day job".

Many other things too but I'm trying very hard not to let my house get too cluttered. My SIL told me she lifts and damp wipes every single knick knack every week.

I try not to hoard anything, because I like simplicity almost to a point of obsession... however, books are definitely an exception! Love books about farms or how folks live in their own home. Love old fashioned stories, like Little Women or The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew... Love books by Mary Stewart and Robin McKinley. Love books about healthy eating. So, yup, I pretty much hoard books! lol.<br /><br />I love dilly-dallying and lolly-gagging, but have such a LONG to-do list that I must limit myself!Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-72363406275382390942016-07-08T11:30:45.426-07:002016-07-08T11:30:45.426-07:00I hoard books.

The minute I send a book out of this house, I know I'll desperately want to read it again.<br /><br />Like you, I have very little stash. I never understood yarn stashes, except for sock yarn. But if you're buying yarn just to buy it, how do you know much you'll need? <br /><br />A fabric stash makes more sense to me, but I tend to buy fabric for a project, not just because it appeals to me. Maybe because if I bought fabric simply on the grounds that I liked it, I'd go broke!<br /><br />xofrancesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-27282606669702796702016-07-08T10:25:51.509-07:002016-07-08T10:25:51.509-07:00Don't feel bad I hoard a lot of things..... li...Don't feel bad I hoard a lot of things..... like fabric, dishes and magazines. My son just shakes his head when he comes to visit.<br /><br />This past weekend I had my granddaughter here and we went through my stash of fabric and I told her she could have what ever she wanted. So we got a empty tub and filled it up. She is 13 and is quite the seamstress. Make a lot of her own clothes. Her dad put her in a sewing school in the summer and she loves it.<br /><br />Sounds like your got your trees ready for the winter months.<br /><br />Isn't funny how children like certain things. It amazes me on some of the things. LOL<br /><br />Well I'm off to dilly dally some this morning.

I have a pantry that I love to have and be able to share!

I find I breathe inward sigh of relief. I always feel so out of the loop too. I like what you hoard. <br />I hoard books, and pens and notebooks. I don't hoard wool nor do I have a big stash of wool or cloth or even lots of hooking things like I see on blogs. I would say, my biggest hoard though is books. Chickens might fall under that category as well. Though I am trying to keep a lid on it. :) I always love to see what you have been doing and I am glad you got your tree trimmed. I like it when trees get trimmed. They always look so much better.

I do have a small fabric stash when I was wanting to really get into quilting. It just sits there. Maybe someday.
