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.
