Travel Tip: Konmari-style Packing

Over the years, I have tried several different ways of packing clothing for travel and even done some research online into recommended methods.  After learning how to tidy my house from Marie Kondo's books, I decided to try her folding and vertical stacking method for clothing in a suitcase.

So far, this is the best method that I have found.  It doesn't eliminate wrinkles entirely, but wrinkles are minimized.  Clothes are easily organized this way, and it is very easy to find anything I need while travelling.  The photo below shows pants, jeans, shirts, and pajamas folded and vertically stacked.  A few more items will fit on top.  When I get to my destination, I can easily pull out the items I need without disturbing all the others.

Here are links to Marie Kondo showing her folding method for Tops, camisoles, and socks; Odd-shaped clothing; and T-shirts (YouTube videos).

Another Yay! for tidying. :)

Quilt Shop Billboard

We saw this billboard recently when travelling on the highway south of Atlanta.  I can't say that I have ever seen a Quilt Shop billboard before.  Too bad we didn't have time to stop!

Exit 221 - Quilt Shop

Edited to add:

I just realized that this would have been much more curious if it was at Exit 221B. :)
