Mend it


When I was young, there was nothing more thrilling than getting something new.  Now I feel like there's just too much stuff in the world.

This month's illustration is about maintaining the belongings we already own (mending a shirt, re-soling shoes) so they serve us well.

Not all items accept maintenance.  When a new purchase is necessary - when you can't do without, borrow, or buy from eBay or the Goodwill - it's a good idea to choose higher-quality things that can be fixed and enjoyed for a long time.

Thank you for all of the great ideas you emailed to me last time!  Keep them coming, and I hope July is beautiful and frugal for all.
