Today is another hodgepodge collection.
You can't see what's under everything, but it's a side table with two drawers. It was replaced with something we brought home from MIL's, so removing it doesn't make any more space, but it feels good to move it out.
Also pictured is 1 purse, 5 eye glass holders, 3 clip-on sunglasses, a Christmas sweater (I think that my MIL passed down to me), a scarf, a Christmas hand towel, a blanket, 2 headsets we don't use anymore, a little notebook, pen and scissors set that came in the mail, 2 books, a little plastic jack o' lantern, a plastic box, a book carrier bag, a dried out bottle of Mod Podge, 2 coffee scoops, a top, a small wooden carved sword, and two more packages of napkins I found in the china cabinet.
If you're counting with me above, you'll say "hold on now, that's only 29 items in that list." And you would be right. I was initially disappointed in myself that I hadn't realized my mistake when I took the picture. Later when I was separating the eyeglass cases for donation, I realized the fourth sunglasses clip-on was in one of them. I HAD originally counted correctly - 30 things gone on day 30!
Day 30: 496 things gone
You're going to keep right on going, I think. ☺️
ReplyDeleteYes - to some degree. I hope I can keep up the momentum.
DeleteYou go girl!!!! You have such nice things too...it must be hard. Me, I have a lot of junk which is much easier to part with! LOL! Tomorrow is the last day!!!!
ReplyDeletelol - Oh Sam... I have plenty of junk. I promise you, too, that somehow most of my stuff looks a lot better in the pictures I take than it does in real life. I don't know why that is. Except for trying to arrange things in some interesting fashion, my photography skills sure didn't improve anything. I used my cell phone camera, and tried to get some natural light on the subject (when I could), but that was the extent of it.
DeleteCan't believe it's been 30 days already - that went so fast. I've had such fun each day reading about your 'previously loved' things and I'm going to miss it! You've done so well and your house must feel so much lighter.
ReplyDeleteI know! October went by so fast. I miss it already.
DeleteOh Becki. I think you have had some of the most interesting items this month. I look forward to your daily post to see what you have unearthed.
ReplyDeleteSame here, Marsha - to you! :)
DeleteGreat job. I have two bags in the front bedroom to drop off, but I opened a drawer today and saw a few more things that need to be added. It is continual.
ReplyDeleteBoy, don't I know it!
DeleteEven your discards look nice! When I downsize , people usually see stuffed bags, contents only vaguely described.
ReplyDeletechuckling... It does seem a little weird showing off one's discards. OTOH, I've found seeing what others are rehoming kind of inspiring - and good reminders of things to look for in my own space.
DeleteHave you missed any of the things you've purged from your home?
ReplyDeleteSo far, no. But I have forgotten some things I purged last year so photographs are really handy to refer back to when I question if I still have something or not. And to be sure, I am not getting rid of things at this point that have any real sentimental value to me, or if it's too hard to make a decision about. I hope to get clearer on that kind of thing as I go.
