‘Thrifting’.

It’s what we call up cycling or re purposing. Crafters have been doing it for years in the uk.

I could have a serious Thrifting Habit. I now operate on a strict one in, one out policy, otherwise known as Treating the Charity Shop as a Lending Library

Me too.
If I want "things" I will look to get secondhand & do up if neccessary, but I have enough things to paint, stitch, clean & dust as it is.

Did a quick google.
Not for me thanks.
I am going the other way.

It’s hoarders, when selling our home last year I put lots of stuff on the local FB group.

I had one lady who probably purchased 75% of what I listed, I delivered a dinner service and lots of crystal, her little house was rammed with “stuff”.
She was so thrilled to get the boxes, I stacked them on top of other unopened boxes for her.

I keep wanting to declutter but I like - and need (?) the bits and bobs - just in case......

The trouble is you need space for all those shelves.

We're practically decluttered now and I do find myself thinking if only I'd kept that I could have done this with it. However I know in reality if I had kept it the item would still be sitting on that shelf!
