Follow this unique programme to discover the joy of living with less items and discover how liberating and fulfilling life becomes when you learn to live with less. The premise of this book is simple: if you don't love it, lose it! Many people think that the more they own, the more contented and happy they will be - their lives become defined by their possessions. In fact, the opposite is often true: the more we have, the less happy and contented we are in mind, body and spirit. Decluttering expert Mary Lambert explains how having too much clutter can stop you moving forward in life, and how learning to let go of items we neither love or need is liberating and fulfilling. The challenge starts with an inventory of your personal possessions, then you begin the process of clearing out your items, addressing each area at a time, from clothes, to jewellery, to hobby items. Once you've tackled your personal items, you can get started on the rest of your household goods.

The study essays a typology of courtly masquerades from the 15th to the 18th century. Mummeries, knightly tournaments, fancy-dress banquets and masked balls in all their various forms are analyzed as enactments or distillations of courtly ceremony. The examination of the socio-symbolic function of masquerades is supplemented by a detailed discussion of the practical side of these events and the regalia and paraphernalia they required, from the planning stage to the managing of the events themselves and the storage of the costumes. By adducing evidence of intensive reutilization of textiles and props, critical light is cast on the widely accepted clichA(c) of the court festivity as 'prodigality elevated to an art-form'.
