Slow Living and Making

Living well with less, by choice and with intention

One of my favourite places to go is second hand shops, not just for the bargains, but for the stories behind each object. This love of what already exists, rather than what is new, has taught me that living well with less is not deprivation, it is freedom. Here are some practical ideas and experiences to help you find your own way to a more intentional life.
