(Anne Sage, author of Sage Living).

For anyone looking to declutter, organize, and simplify, author Erin Boyle shares practical guidance and personal insights on small-space living and conscious consumption. At once pragmatic and philosophical, Simple Matters is an essential manual for anyone who wants to bring more purpose and sustainability to their daily lives. Boyle demonstrates how the benefits of "living small" are accessible to us all-whether we're renting a tiny apartment or purchasing a three-story house.

Filled with personal essays, projects, and helpful advice on how to be inventive and resourceful in a tight space, Simple Matters shows that living simply is about making do with less and ending up with more: more free time, more time with loved ones, more savings, and more things of beauty.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14990506</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14990506</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Boyle, Erin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/14990506981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Living with Less and Ending Up with More</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781613128824/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Making Things]]></title><description><![CDATA[Through easy-to-follow tutorials for over 100 projects that are both accessible and aspirational, Making Things invites readers to try their hands at a variety of crafts and celebrate the satisfaction that comes from slowly and carefully creating for oneself. Learn to fold magazine pages into Masu Boxes for organizing bits and bobs, make a cardboard loom for weaving potholders out of old linens, braid your own Kumihimo Dog Leash, or starch fabric scraps for decorative bunting. Makers Rose Pearlman and Erin Boyle met in 2018 and immediately struck up a friendship, united by a reverence for everyday objects. Their approach towards craft reflects a shared commitment to sustainability and accessibility - as they write in Making Things' introduction, "Craft can be exquisite and exacting, the result of formal training and years of practice, but it can also be experimental and messy and not quite perfect." Scouring sidewalks, stoops, and thrift stores, the authors repurpose materials to create projects that range from functional to fun and frivolous. Step-by-step guides make it simple to start and finish each project, while the book's stunning photographs show how each craft can fit within an organized, thoughtfully curated home. As Making Things demonstrates, relying on a limited range of supplies and repurposing the same materials can spur our creativity, encouraging us to look at a pile of junk on a stoop and see endless possibilities -- Amazon.com.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2389065</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2389065</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Boyle, Erin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2389065218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Finding Use, Meaning and Satisfaction in Crafting Everyday Objects</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781958417270/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simple Matters]]></title><description><![CDATA[For anyone looking to declutter, organize, and simplify, author Erin Boyle shares practical guidance and personal insights on small-space living and conscious consumption. At once pragmatic and philosophical, Simple Matters is a nod to the growing consensus that living simply and purposefully is more sustainable not only for the environment, but for our own happiness and well-being, too. Boyle embraces the notion that "living small" is beneficial and accessible to us all - whether we're renting a tiny apartment or purchasing a three-story house.
