How goes the decluttering? Have you shifted anything out of the house? Found something to sort through? Had thoughts on things you can let go of?

Comments open to locals, lurkers, drive by sticky beaks, and anyone I've forgotten to mention.

I have another box of items earmarked to go. I've cleared an area of floor that is now the staging space, and I should remember to go and take photos while it is light out.

I've been getting a small box of extra whatnots ready to go to work.

Also took in two boxes of plants which were all successfully rehomed.

Four boxes ready to go for donation. One large box of books, a set of china from my past, a smallish box of movies, some clothes, and the rest is a bit of this and that. I've moved my music cd collection into a case that holds 500 cds and the case is about full.(That was a project. The cases that were in good shape were donated.)

At any rate, the job is not yet done. I have a lifetime of lovely things, that others might enjoy. I just need to spend less time thinking about it, and actually get to work on moving them onward.

Ooh, do you have a link or photo of the case you found? I have a large DVD and CD collection and want to move to a smaller, more efficient storage system. Putting all the discs in tyvek sleeves and then storing the sleeves in a case of some kind, but am having trouble finding the right size case or box.

Also, wanted to congratulate you on uncluttering so much. It is difficult to let go of beloved possessions, especially things like the china.

The art teachers are asking for old clothes for middle school students to upcycle as part of their fashion design unit, so I brought in some sweaters and things that I don't wear any more but felt guilty tossing because they're still in pretty good shape. I hope they get a good second life as a 7th grader's design project!

Realised I was keeping a bunch of work related stuff[*] rather inefficiently. Rationalised the storage, freed up some space, put out a couple of empty boxes, moved some into the cupboard, asked if I still need to hold on to all the things.
