Within a few hours of posting these four Vera Bradley bags
on a Facebook page,
they were spoken for!
Four more items bite the dust!

bonus items
This was the scene from the backseat of our moving car last night
as we returned home via the scenic route
from emptying the trunk of its contents in the deposit box
of a thrift store.
My husband and I completed a challenge TODAY--
each of us gathering and ridding the house of the number of items
to match the number of every day in February.
Today, the 28th, we totaled it all up...
812
Buoyed by the success, I proceeded to gather ten bonus items this morning...
primarily jeans and other denim items that (realistically) I will never wear.
It's been a great exercise.
We plan to continue on a smaller scale.
four plus three
Tomorrow these four books will join three items yet-to-be-determined
to be the seven items I will dispose of
(matching the numerical day of the month - 7).
The exercise has been challenging in a surprising way--
that is, LIMITING myself to the actual number prescribed by the date!
By the way, these are DUPLICATE books.
I could not bear to part with any of them if they were my only copies.
Have you read any of them?
Such classics...
when you've gotta go...
After some major sorting, I've decided to part with these ornaments--two layers of bulbs here in this 18"x14" box. Many (if not most) are vintage. I simply needed/wanted to keep and store red and blue bulbs, so I'm going to try to sell this whole box for $5. If they don't sell after a couple of weeks, they'll join multiple garlands and wreaths in the donation box of a favorite thrift store. When you've gotta go, you've gotta GO!
simplfying continued
Rusted, torn and weathered,
these four chairs barely survived the winter.
Looking at them, I realize we were simply NOT going to apply
the work necessary to restore them to an attractive state.
So I listed them on a few local facebook garage sale sites.
Within an hour, they were sold and on their way to a new home
My simplifying continues.
Wow! Does it ever feel great!
