I have been combing through the clutter in my home, looking for items to sell, and this is what I've come up with!
We have participated in the annual street sale three years in a row*, so the obvious or junky stuff was sold off or donated a long time ago. I am now digging deeper. I actually feel a surge of pride** when I put something in the give/donate pile. It is liberating. Who knew editing could become just as addictive as purchasing? I am routing around for more items...I know I can do better than this!
*my neighbour stopped by to say his family has joined in for the last ten years...I had no idea it was such an event! We live on a great street, that's for sure!
**yup - pride...patting myself on the back! Way to go Shannon! You are a champ!I am so excited I want the sale to start.right.now!
ps. My three year old is involved....he has selected a few toys he is willing to give away to other little boys who do not have many toys...
pps. Janice helped me let go of another pile of things from the 1980's.
ppps. Mom, don't worry
UPDATE: You see? I could do better! I am not stopping yet!
ooh looks like fun! I like that little silver dish too!
ReplyDeleteOK how did I not know you had a blog (see "rock, living under...").
ReplyDeleteI take this as a street sale smackdown! We'll see shannon, we'll see...
(yeah, ok -might come by earlier to check out your stuff...)

ReplyDeleteLove that yellow pan! Is it Dansk? I love those. I think I may have to swing by! (like I need more stuff!)
ReplyDeleteDansk...pretty beat up, but still holds it's charms...
ReplyDeleteIs this sale this Saturday? Where about is it?
ReplyDeleteOooh - pretty candle sticks:) I love a street sale
ReplyDeleteoooh I want that silver bowl and those candlesticks!! ARe you sure you want to get rid of them??
ReplyDeleteWell, I hesitated for a minute...but yes, I am pretty-freaking sure! :)
ReplyDeleteI love these candlesticks, but I never use them...ever...never..never...and a collection of misc. candle sticks on a pretty tray is beautiful...but also could be turned into weapons by rowdy boys...so...bye bye candlesticks!
(The dull ones are from Restoration Hardware...from my first boss after University)
OK! Silver bowl is now yours!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you paid me $15, when I asked for $5...makes me think I under priced everything?
This stuff is priced to sell! (Ok, so I asked $10 for a fire king red dots bowl and I am feeling greedy)
Love the purge! I did the kitchen a few years ago - got rid of all the duplicates and the appliances that I never use. I mean, how many knives do you need?
ReplyDeleteRight now I need to do it again. I have five throws on the couch and some sheet sets to donate or sell.
just stumbled upon your blog and i love it! i love purging through my house and feeling like I've finally de-cluttered ( by the same token, I love going through other peoples garage sales too haha) And I've got to say, you have a gorgeous house. love your taste!
