Nice!
i just cleaned out the food cupboards - net a plastic grocery bag worth of open/stale food from the years of dh elimination diets (thank god that's over!) to feed to the chickens
and listed the 160! items that I have set aside since the end of April to take to goodwill. Loaded them in the car and going later today.
And then I remembered another box I meant to sort through and cleaned off the counter in the barn, and I found 30 more things that could go!
Well, got rid of sme stuff at the neighborhod'd sale.:~)
Took home some some stuff, too. All of them "bargains" of course.:D
Finally hemmed four pair of sweatpants so I threw out four pair of really old, stained and dotted with paint sweatpants.
Cleaned out unfiled pattern clippings and filed away those I wanted to keep. Have a pile of crafty stuff for the donation pile at my retreat. Still have way too many clippings and patterns. (3 lateral file drawers full.
It is so cool that I was able to puchase an old Persian rug, a runner, for $40 (with a pad!) and it was exactly the rug I would have chosen in out of a group of 50 rugs, it was the only runner inthe grou of 3 rugs.
We have had no rugs on our floor for 25 years because we seem to always have a dog who pees on a rug. Now, our current dog doesnt do that. And he promised me that he would not do that.
This means that I will sometimes have to drag the vacuum cleaner downstairs, and thats not fun, bur we shall see if its worth it.
Then I went out looking for "a couple of taller buckets and maybe some colored canning jars" for the flowers for Dd's wedding. And I bought: two galvanized watering cans, three vases, two stools to put the watering cans on, and one glass pitcher all for Dd's flowers and a new rake to replace my almost worn out one and a stone cookie mold (my other collection) total damage about $66.
I have all my pantry items spread out on the kitchen table to sort thru and clean out. I'm going to use my glass containers and get rid of a lot of the plastic packaging and go through and check expiration dates. I also have some things that we just haven't been eating and I need to just get rid of that.
Went thru the pantry yesterday and gave it a good cleaning and sorting. I'm now using my glass containers and it looks so nice! Purged 2 bags of recycling and 1 bag of trash. Now I have 1/3 of the pantry empty. It will be a nice spot to store all my kitchen and table linens.
I always get a pick up from an orderly pantry. Enjoy. :)
i am am still plugging away and getting rid of at least one thing daily. May be a bit of a challenge this weekend with all the company and my daughter's wedding...
Today I got new shoes. I am not up for purging my shoes right now, so I got rid of a different item from my closet I had been waffling about instead - in addition to my purge item and more trash from my barn.
