Our Bottom Drawer

 Bottom Drawers are an old fashioned notion. But in this day and age we all are saving and scrimping.Cutting back as much as possible. Its harder and harder for young people to move out of there family home and fly the nest.

There is nothing more frustrating than not being able to get your first home because of money troubles!

That's where bottom drawers come in, the idea has been around for years! Girls of a certain age, use to save bits and pieces ready for when they married and moved in with their new husbands. Although most of us don't wait to be married now, the concept is still a brilliant idea. 

I've been bottom drawing for about a year now. I started small, Tea towels were the first thing i bought. Gradually Kirk got involved. With different family members moving and clearing out and us picking up things in end of season sales we accumulated a fair amount of stuff.

We haven't paid much for anything. We also have a very strange and mixed array of furniture waiting for a home. 

So if you are planning on moving with you other half in the near future, or even alone, consider saving a few bargains you find. You will be glad of it when the time comes!

We also have been saving money which is easier said than done!

Find yourself a place too keep all of your things. as lovely as your finds may be you dont want them cluttering up your room if you arent using them! And try not to use them. It will be nice and new in your new home.

 Here are a few of the bits and bobs we have saved.
