Swinging into Spring

by Kate Holmes

One of the reasons we all love Spring so much is that it's a renewal: of our spirits, of our outlook, and of nature herself. The comforting cycle of the seasons is turning now to the fulfillment of the winter sleep. Buds form, leaves unfurl, baby birds are born...and we too feel renewed along with the plants and animals.

You're partaking of nature's cycle when you REcycle. Grant a new breath of fresh air to possessions as varied as a crisp pair of linen trousers to a wonderful, age-patina'd garden table. Shop resale for a new-to-you, new-to-this-season treat for yourself, your family or your family home and welcome the new season in, in style and in economy. After all, Spring is the time for green things to grow... and the green in your wallet to be conserved.

And Spring is the time for housecleaning, as well. Nothing makes you feel quite so good when it's done: closets pared down to only the things you love, cupboards cleared of clutter. 

The average American owns 52 things that, if they evaporated tomorrow, the owner wouldn't miss. Watch as I choose, then find new homes for, my 52 things.

Finally, now that you have all that wonderful space in your home, reward yourself by shopping resale! After all, our motto is ReSell..RePlace..ReJoice!
