My sister gave me a beautiful necklace for Christmas. I love the necklace and I really think this cute orange pouch it came packed up in is cute too. (My sister and my husband both pick out far more attractive choices in clothing and jewelry than I seem to find for myself.) I’ll wear the necklace a lot.
But this pouch is typical of the clutter that rules my life. I hang on to stuff like this for years. I move it around once in a while, but I never let treasures like this go. This makes no sense.
Isn't this cute?
The necklace hangs on a rack on our bedroom wall with my other beads. I’m not the sort of person that is going to put the necklace back in the cool orange pouch and tuck it away in a jewelry box after I wear it. I never have been that organized, and at 50 plus years I don’t think that’s going to change. So the pouch has sat on my dresser sans necklace since Christmas.
I don’t need it, but I can’t just put it in the Goodwill bag either. It’s just a little too cute. So it will go in the box of things for next Christmas and I’ll repurpose it. Maybe one of my nieces will find a little something tucked away in it.
