Trivia- Pierates Cruze

The answer is D, the gardens were surrounded by a substantial seawall and included a belled wall.

In 1929, the Osgood family of Massachusetts bought the large waterfront lot and built a large seawall, behind which they created seven pleasure gardens collectively called Pierates Cruze. They then opened the garden to the public in the 1940s where it remained a popular destination through the ‘s. Although the gardens closed in 1959 and the land sold into small lots, there are still surviving garden features, such as the Belled Wall, which was reconstructed after Hurricane Hugo in 1989.

A note from Mary…. HUGS is my favorite decluttering hack. It’s a system to help you separate your belongings from your feelings about your belonging and make objective decisions about what to keep and what to let go.

• Does the item make you HAPPY? 

If not, you should donate it.  It doesn’t matter if it fits, if it still has the tags on it, if it was expensive, etc.  If it doesn’t make you happy, you should donate, resell, or gift it away.

• Is it USEFUL?

The item should be useful and functional right now. If not, you should donate it. You do not need a backup toaster in the garage in case the current one breaks. You do not need eight phone chargers.

• Was it a GIFT?

What you do with a gift does not reflect how you feel about the person who gave it to you. Full confession, I am the worst at this one. If the gift does not make you happy, donate it. If you won’t use it, you can purge the gift.  It’s OK.  Separate your feelings about the person from the item itself. (And no, you do not have to display the hideous vase just because Aunt Marge gave it to you.)

• Does it hold SENTIMENTAL value? 

This is the one most difficult for most clients. And please know I am not saying you need to part with those truly special things. You can keep every piece of paper your child has ever written on.  But if you do, each should be proudly on display and not stuffed in boxes in the attic. If they are in boxes, pare back – pick a few favorites from each year and discard the rest.

Decluttering can be daunting. I always advise clients to start small. You do not need to organize the entire house all at once – start with one drawer, one closet or one room. You will be amazed what a HUG can do.
