Lets make a world a beautiful place
We can be happy everywhere. It’s something within, not outside. I like watching beautiful places. And I have to confess, that I even wished to live there many times. But every time last conclusion was, that I can make my home a beautiful place. Even without money. Imagination, creativity, and some manual skills help to make our environment better.
I bought many flowers, but even without money I could ask friends for exchanging some of them. I bought some furnitures, and things for decoration in second-hand shops, and on bazaars.
Being poor isn’t a shame. Not all of us are predestinated for making big career. But sitting and crying over ourselves instead of doing anything to make our life better is a shame.
Doing anything will be always better, than doing nothing. Crying, and complaining about how bad world is can’t change anything. But moving, and working can.
Lets make a world a beautiful place! Starting from our own environment.

How very right you are. I have this discussion with people all the time, my entire life I have haunted second hand shops, garage sales and other treasure troves. More than half my very best ‘treasures’ are inherited from others this way.
I got many beautiful things for small money. It’s not an art to make our place better having money. Real art is making it beautiful without having money.
And by the way, what are antiques if not second-hand stuffs?
I couldn’t agree with you more, Sabina. Some of the loveliest things I’ve found came from a second hand shop. A quote…”One man’s trash, is another man’s treasure,”….I don’t know who said that originally tough, but I agree with it.
Here on the island there are only expensive shops with high dollar tourist prices, and much of the items from them places can also be found in the second hand shops here when people tire of them…it great condition too.
Have a great day, my friend!
Hugs xx
Buying for small money things for which others pay much more is proof of wisdom.
I’m sure, that even if I have more money, I’ll still be visiting second-hand shops. Here even some celebrities are confessing, that they are visiting such shops to buy something unique. 
Have a great day Debbie.
Hugs,

I have found some amazing ornaments over the years in
second hand shops and I would reccommend to anyone
to try them first, whether it is funiture, ornaments or books
as there are lots to choose from and at affordable prices
Have a wicked time tonight Sabina

Why to pay more, when we can pay less?
I had a friend in old job, who had very stylish apartament. She confessed, that many thigs there were second-hand stuffs. 
Have a wicked time tonight Andro

It is true what Deb said earlier about
the treasures that can be found, okay
someone fell out of love with it but in
doing so gave the chance of owning it
in new surroundings for someone else
Have fun Sabina
lol
I have to think of a posting
for the Wednesday slot
Androgoth XXx
Yes, the same thing can give happiness twice or even more.
Good luck with posting. But anyway they always are great.
XXx
I have just added something a bit different
lol
Thank you for your kind thoughts Sabina and
do have a very nice Wednesday
Androgoth XXx
I’ll check it
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

I like garage sales myself. People often sell stuff for next to nothing because they just want to get rid of it.
I regret, that here garage sales are not so popular.
I think people in North America are probably the ones who buy the most unnecessary stuff, so we have to get rid of it all somehow!
So garage sales are good solution.
Yes those garage sales are wicked, but here in the UK there are those car boot sales, which is okay when one does not have a garage to sell from
Have a fun day Binky

Czasami małe jest piękne,choć każdy ma w naszym życiu chwile gdy chce więcej,to ludzkie i prawdziwe,bo jeteśmy tylko ludżmi z naszymi wadami….
Nie ma nic złego w tym, że chcemy więcej. Ale nawet jeśli mamy niewiele, też możemy być szczęśliwi.
I agree with you Sabina, indeed I like to look around those
bargain furniture shops too as sometimes there are some
really good pieces to be found and it does not matter if one
cannot afford everything new, you know a lot of people just
buy new things for show and not practically so who cares if
something is older, for me it does not matter and besides a
lot of the older furniture is made much better too
Have a great rest of evening Sabina
Androgoth XXx
Yes, exactly. Year ago I bought for 100 Euro almost 100 years old big cupboard. It needs renovation, but even now I enjoy beautiful sculptures on it.
Have a great evening Andro.
XXx
Yes that is brilliant Sabina, and I could do that reovating myself having worked as a spray polisher on furniture, reproduction furniture and fireplaces
Have a really sweet evening my great friend
Androgoth XXx
I don’t have this your comment in notificatrions. Even in comments box. Only here under the post. It’s strange.
We can find many treasures covered by dust, which need only polishing.
Have a great evening Andro.
XXx
Yes I don’t know why the comments don’t appear in the right places Sabina, Gremlins again maybe?
I hope you are having a lovely week so far
and are having some sunny weather too
Androgoth XXx
Maybe Gremlins
Yes, sun is rising sometimes
XXx
It has been another poor day weather wise
lol
but we that are optimistic know that it will be
improving, eventually
Have a lovely rest of day Sabina
Androgoth XXx
I have the same hope
Have a great evening Andro

I hope that you are enjoying
a very nice day today Sabina
here it has been raining all
morning so far
Androgoth XXx
Since many days, or now even weeks, it’s raining every day. There were storms, balls of ice falling from above, floods, and tornados. But there is also some sun almost everyday.
XXx
Yes it’s been similar here too Sabina
lol
I think I should find my umbrella and
skellie wellies out of the shed
Androgothb XXx
I’m sorry, I had to go out.
My umbrella is ready for using all the time.
XXx
No problemo I am skiving
from my writing so nearly
time for lunch
I hope you enjoyed your time out
Androgoth XXx
I was watching my cat. He is young, and not so wise, and likes to go under cars.
Have a nice lunch
XXx
Yes all the cats around here do the same, it’s the warmth from the engines that attracts them
I am just going to grab some
lol

Androgoth XXx
I thought, that some cat. Thanks for explanation )
XXx

Androgoth XXx
Go, and eat or you’ll die from hunger, and it’ll be my fault.
Have a nice afternoon.
XXx
You said sleep, I thought it was sheep

Now that is very funny, I need to pop my reading
specs on next time I think?
Androgoth XXx
I tried to understand, why you chose sheep. hehe
XXx
Cheers to that Sabina!
And congratulations with your new furniture.
I love to buy second hand furniture and redo it up.. but I am running out of space lol..so now I turn my attention to the garden
It is amaizng how cheerful a room can become just by putting some flower arrangements..and of course lots of love
Have a great evening,
hugs Traceyxx
Thank you for your lovely thoughts, Tracey.
Have a great evening.
xx
Lovely! Thank you for the noble challenge.
Thank you
That is of course very true. A little creativity can go a long way to make a place beautiful. I stayed in a little cottage years ago which was a bit rundown on the outside, but inside everything was brightly colored and very nicely appointed with many odds and ends.
Creativity can make every place beautiful.
