Sometimes, something you like very much has become clutter to you. If you are no longer using it, and you have no place to use it, it is time to say good-bye. However, there are possibilities here, other than selling it or giving it to charity. Do you have a friend or family member that would love a new set of mugs? Could you divide them up to make a present with tea, coffee, or cocoa in it; and add one of those chocolate covered spoons. Maybe, you could serve up a mugful of candy. Since we live on a very tight budget, I think this is a good idea. It's not like giving someone castoffs. This would be giving someone something I really love, that I think she would like.
I am still trying to decide. what I should do with my mugs? They really are cute. Garage sale or Christmas present? I'm not sure, but I have some time to decide.
This ugly little item is a bent curtain rod. It did not go to the basement: it went straight to the trash. I love easy decisions. So I can now say I have decluttered 213 items. Yippee! There is only one problem. The things for the garage sale are taking up room in a spare room and irritating the dickens out of me. At first, I thought it would be alright. But, I am having a few doubts, as in will I have enough energy to do a garage sale? I'm also thinking about asking a couple of friends if they would like to help and put some things in the sale. What would you do?
