You know Helene - I did follow her advice, and I do love living mre simply. Then I became a non-friend, a non-believer when I saw her new store with all those lovely things to buy...to give you more joy, to trip over, and to write about!!! Yes I did write about our Marie. I'm sure I read somewhere that she said she wasn't really all about minimalism. Hm! Strange how we all still accumulate though!
