Minimal: adj of or
being a minimum, constituting the least possible.
Minimalism: n type
of design characterized by simplicity of form and arrangement.
According to the above definitions, a minimalist is someone
who likes to keep things simple, who does not collect, and heaven
forbid...would never hoard.
My daughter is one of those people. She constantly cleans
out closets and cupboards, only keeps, not collects, the bare minimum of items,
each having some personal meaning or purpose.
It goes without saying she is not a crafts person. I am a
crafts person and I have a collection of ribbons, yarn, beads, paint,
paper...need I go on.
My daughter has found my finger injury to be quite humorous,
and is constantly giving me the raised pinkie, the high-tea-this-is-how-you
hold-your-tea-cup gesture.
I threatened on Facebook, when I was posting about
my finger mishap, that I was going to start drinking my tea from a cup and
saucer, would actually start a collection and save them all...for her.
An empty threat I know, I prefer a mug, don’t even own a tea
cup, but I thought it was funny. So I think I’ll start that collection, in the
virtual world, and clutter up her virtual cupboards.
Here's a start, and in purple, her favourite colour.
