My second postcard examines a well known decorating decision, a subtle mirror

where the subconscious plays with the conscious.

I would also like to introduce you to one of your shoulder-sitting friends,

Simplicity, to add conversational wisdom.

The too perfect house, the too perfect garden makes you, your spirit and

your friends uneasy. The pursuit of perfection and efficient organisation

at the expense of conversation and interaction creates only a fleetingly

successful life.

Let life happen instead of constantly marshalling disciplined

and straightening strategies. Shrug and know you are being real.

Laugh inwardly when you acknowledge that a smoothed, tightened daily life

has little allure.

Have a soft-hearted home …Simplicity
