I’m tickled to introduce (perhaps even reintroduce) Lisa – aka Satsumabug. You might know her from flipping through pages of her {She} journal over at Gadanke. What you may not know is that this girl has a serious knack for hosting parties, decluttering, and getting some craved stuff all at the same time.
I’m not sure what to say.
“Oh Katie, what a cute shirt! Where did you get it?”
“Oh thanks! It’s from Ann Taylor Loft… umm… over two years ago.”
I keep thinking about how I should probably start buying more clothes again. I don’t need new clothes. So I stop and ask myself why I’m compelled to go buy some then. And you know what I figure? I think I should go buy more clothes because THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE DO.
Back when I fully intended to work in the corporate world, I was ecstatic to land my first big job. A couple of weeks later, my sister stopped by to say hello. She looked around the little apartment Martin and I had.
Then she said in awe,
“Katie, I didn’t think I’d ever see dust where you live!”
I froze. I laughed. And then for the first time, my sister stuck out a finger and swirled it across the dust on my shelf. It was her great victory. She was ready to hug me in only the way a little sister finding a flaw in her bigger sister ever could.
I’m an American splitting life between a 480 square foot apartment in Berlin, Germany and – get this – a house made of old tires in the Rocky Mtns.
This blog chronicles the journey of Making This Home.Meet Katie.
