"Fortune is less about accumulated possesions
than the capacity to live with little"

Most days I feel like I'm still in my 20's, if not my late teens,
so, being reminded that I am now more than 20 years past my 21st birthday
somehow comes as a bit of a shock - plus, by the end of the month
I'll be another year older..!
Anyway, what I'm leading to, is, that
it doesn't seem that long ago that I was an undergraduate,
house-sharing in London with a group of great friends from around the world.
It was seeing the storage boxes and baskets above, the other day on the
website that brought back vivid memories of the rather "original"
interior decoration we created.
Made up, mostly, of a collection of hand-me-down bric à brac and zillions of
wine boxes, trunks and wicker baskets of all sizes and shapes
for storage - none of which we paid much for as we were impercunious, to say the least,
and much preferred to spend the little money we had on books, travel and
entertainment..!

Those trunks reminds me of my childhood when people travelled in India by train they always had trunks like that.
oh yes, the university days. I remember using milk crates to hold our books, which by the way had a warning label on them that it was an offense that could result in proscution if not used for milk and returned. We all had them, but I never heard of anyone going to jail for using one.
by the way, lovely images.
How fun to look back on the old college days. I remember having to use ingenuity to create storage for our ever-expanding belongings and inexpensive meals for our ever-expanding bellies.
I love these images!
living with little is an art i tend to master and then lose sight of only to start again.
