A short poem about the wonderful Cory Cook, who walked into our life to give it order and who has become a friend in a million. For heaven’s sake, do yourself a favour and check her website out! This woman isn’t just a Superwoman in “house doctoring” she is an Ironwoman!
She swooped into our lives via a 450 bus,
Not through the air hanging from an umbrella.
She took over the stage with minimum fuss,
Our Poppins, yes our “Cinderella”.
She carried a bag full of marvellous things,
And here’s the wickedly real paradox,
She used stickers and labels and scissors and strings,
And sorted my previous life into a box.
For her this is fun, it’s what makes her pulse race,
This sorting, recycling and throwing,
When she’s done there is order and logic and SPACE,
All this and she’s pos’tively glowing.
So yes, I’ve been sorted, decluttered,
All my excesses Ms Cook overcame,
The first words that she should have uttered,
Was “I’m a Poppins! To me this job is a game!”
But this isn’t all to the marv’lous Ms Cook,
Her qualities know no obvious end,
She’s charming, efficient, has a sunny outlook,
Above all, she’s a very good friend.

Just visited her blog. She is, indeed, very helpful.
She is a superstar!
Cory Poppins would be most welcome here whilst we downsize in a spectacular way. But it’s all about changing perspective, it’s no good chucking out if you leave the door open for a whole new load of junk to come back. It’s the latter I’m working on right now. Loving the pictures of you lovely decluttered house though 🙂
…we are doing well on that front too! Ruthless!
Lovely woman, and I was wondering if she does house calls across the pond?? I would dearly love somebody to swoop in and put some order to many years’ worth of clutter in my house. Thanks for sharing her blog, Caro. I’m going to check it out.
She is fabulous! She is actually American. From Las Vegas. So maybe you could tie in a declutter with one of her trips home! She has Mary Poppinsed us good and proper!
We are in the process of decluttering our Wisconsin house as we prepare to move to Mexico. I really could use her help. 30 years means there is something in every space that must be dealt with. wow
That’s what I found too! She is American..maybe you could persuade her to come via you on her way home….
