Garage Sale or Not?

Garage sale or not?  

Right now, I honestly don't know.  Sometimes, one must face that what seemed a good idea is a bad idea.  My other choice is simply put up a sign, throw it out on tables, and not try to make everything pretty.  I love arranging things.  Also, just asking for a donation sounds better  than making tons of change and wearing myself out more than I am already worn out.  Seriously, I am thinking of putting a sign out and taking my chances.  After three hours, anything not gone, goes to Habitat for Humanity.  

Usually, I take my "giveaways" to a charity, but I thought I would try to recoup some of the money spent on traveling to visit family.  So to my readers that pray, I ask you that you will pray I make the wise decision and that I will be in the center of God's will.

Did I really used to live in a world where people changed purses and held onto old ones?  



It's not for me anymore.  I really do not like changing purses.  Hmm...I may have another one somewhere.  Maybe I will run across it tomorrow.

  Trash                                                                              Still Useful                                                                                                               

Every day I get closer to my goal.  

Here it is!

Trash and Treasures - 146 Items Decluttered Since March 13,2013

I want to encourage you.  Getting rid of the clutter does not cease in the summer.  Today, I am happy because I have come up with a way to prepare for a garage sale.  Later on, after I see how my system works, I plan to share this with you.  Hopefully, this garage sale will be our ticket to a much needed vacation.  I know how hard it is to prepare overnight, so I plan to do this in baby steps.  Love those two words.  I can do so many things in baby steps! 

Today, I am getting rid of trash and treasures.  The above shoe covers are no longer capable of keeping out the rainwater.  And the thingy for the door is broken, so this is the trash.  

Cologne and perfume that sits in the sun and is several years old starts smelling strange, not like it should smell.  Buy to my DH's very old Christmas present.  Last time he decided to wear it, I thought it was not smelling like it is supposed to smell.  I tested it on my wrist today.  Yuck!

Treasures

 Small and large bowls -- a treasure for collectors, but a pain for people who like to use dishwashers.

Alas, lovely but doesn't go in the dishwasher, so
I will give the people who like to collect a chance.
