Minimalisation Monday didn't quite happen this week, but Throwout Thursday did, today. Two insulated cups, an iPad stand (I think it is), a blue star candle holder, which I like, but I'm not a fan of candles so I never use it, a candle in a little pot which someone gave me, but see above, and two little embroidered pictures in wool which I found out too late that Daughter 1 would have liked to have. I like them too, but they'd been in a drawer for years and I'm trying to be ruthless. Their mounts had got a bit discoloured and what are the chances that I would have replaced them? Sorry, Daughter 1.
We didn't actually throw any of this out. We took it to a charity shop. Someone will love them, let's hope.
Don't you feel a bit lighter when you let go of things you've been storing for years? I do. I have a closet or two I'm hoping to be ruthless about, like you!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if my daughters would want any of my stuff. I doubt that they will, but they might surprise me. It would be a great way to get rid of a few things!
ReplyDeleteGood morning from warm and sunny Greece! Ι would be more than happy to buy the embroidered picture for the charity. I absolutely love pieces like that because they remind me of my grandparents in my village. They create such a familiar feeling and bring a wonderful sense of warmth and comfort.
ReplyDeleteDaughter 1's definitely-not-little ones are the Rail/train enthusiast and his enthusiastic sister, aren't they? They look so grown up! My son has just turned 46, and the grandchildren are 11 and 8. It seems like yesterday the son was 11... or younger! I'm glad the Concert was such a success. We had a spate of 'greedy eaters' who arrived in time for food, after the church service.... the problem was solved by putting pieces of food onto individual plates. 95% solved, at least! I hope you had time to enjoy making music , and it wasn't all hard yards for you?
ReplyDeleteLittle by little is the way to go. It all helps. But I’m struggling with some of the bigger items. A full size rocking horse being one of them. But if I don’t deal with it who will?
