Mary Randolph Carter champions the value of 'junk' in her new book, 'Live With the Things You Love: And You'll Live Happily Ever After.' She views junk as a significant aspect of personal expression and memory, illustrated by the unique collections of antique dealers, artists, and stylists. Rather than being mere clutter, these items serve as vessels of stories and emotions, contributing to a beautiful and cozy environment. Carter’s reflections on her own collection journey invite readers to rethink their relationships with everyday objects and the pleasure they can bring into personal spaces.
"Drawing connections between the ordinary and extraordinary, I believe junk holds special stories and meanings that can enrich our lives beyond mere aesthetics."
"My journey through junking has taught me that it’s not just about clutter; it’s about the joy and memories these items evoke when embraced correctly."
