I'm glad to have a community for this!

Our kitchen will be demolished April 2-3, and we have to get everything out (also part of the dining room) by then. We have not moved in 30 years. So it's Significant Enforced Unluttering. So many things remind me of who I was as a teenager, as a student, as a daughter, as a mother: it's hard to get rid of them. I even hate trashing expired (very very expired) food, old notes, rusty cupcake tins. Sigh.

But for the usable stuff I'm trying to find targets recipients. I have help from a young person who works in a bookstore, (therefor deeply underpaid) and she took some, and I'm going to put some down on the street, but it's weird, people don't take perfectly nice stuff like a fleece blanket. I found a great local resource in Berkeley, Urban Ore which is basically a 3-acre garage sale! I feel better sending stuff to them than just trashing it or pushing to a thrift store.

Whew. That vent felt good!

Yay on decluttering progress. :) You'll get there.

If it's a fabric good on the street, people may be avoiding it in case of bedbugs or other hitch hikers. Selling is a good option. :)
