"Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." William Morris 1834-1896

I found this on some website today and thought I had tattoo this to the back of my wallet. And my husband's wallet as well!

Well, that's a good one.

You know, my grown son went in a store to buy me a gift and the clerk asked how he would describe me. He said "utilitarian". I think it is hilarious and I am not at all insulted.

I still live by"

Use it up
Wear it out
Make it do or
Do without

Cathleen

OK...You knew someone was going to say this, so I will: Do husbands fall into this category?

Frugal is being wise with your money and resources and cheap is forcing everyone else to.

I love the idea of having a motto. My own is "Be on guard against having too many possessions."

An old Franciscan priest once said that to me, and it has always stayed with me- mainly because I do feel that, for me, it is a constant battle to realize that I already have enough. I always am looking for more... and that is what gets me into trouble.
