This was a cool post! I really liked your last line! We are really similar. Can I guess that you are a perfectionist? And that you get frustrated when things don't seem to be as put-together as you think they should be? (Well, that is how I am anyway.)
I like vintage stuff, but I'm no where nearly as committed about junk collecting as you are. However, I really like essential oils and natural healing also. (The oils are expensive, eh?) Do a post on how you use your ess. oils... :)

Great post! Funny thing, I could have said most of the same things...Kristy always said we were alike!
(Sue) We must be. Lol! :) The girls have always told me that too.
Cool, that was sort of poetic.
Very cool post...sounds like you. I didn't know you were the oldest.
