Weekend Uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What clutter has caught your attention today?

I've been sorting books. So far, I've managed to find two duplicates in the $15 boxes I bought at the recent booksale, so those will be passed on to friends who like them. And another piece of clothing has joined the box in the front hall. I desperately want to find the time to sort through a few piles of Stuff that I suspect will be more than half clutter, but urgent things keep cropping up. Today, we had to trim the tree that one of the chickens has been using to escape over the 8 foot fence!

I'm doing the same when I sell things. Yes, the money is nice, but I'm trying to think of it as "money I recouped" and "look at all this space!" rather than "money I made." Because part of decluttering is to stop buying things! (I say... as I buy things to sell and flip..)

Right. I'm thinking more of my daughter needing her own space now that she's three. I don't need to hold onto my late mom's stuff and I'm sure she would be happy to know that me selling and donating her collections is making space for her granddaughter to have her own room- and the money I make is used to by my daughter things she needs and an occasional toy too.

The flea market I'm going to had a vendor last year who had tons of vintage Barbie dolls for dirt cheap prices, so I'm hoping he's back so I can buy some to flip. ;-)
