Yesterday I got to dig in some junk - just like I had been craving to do for a few weeks now. Unlimited amounts of boxes of junk - cool vintage things, weird things, old stuff, some new stuff, an eclectic mix of junk. I was amazed at what I found! I was even more amazed that all this junk was in my very own home. Yikes!
Since we were home watching the Inaugural festivities all day, I decided to tackle some of the boxes in my so called "Office" (aka "The Junk Room") that had been in the depths of the closet for longer than I can remember. When I first started thriifting for ebay items, I bought vintage things and packed them away until I got them listed. Then something terrible happened - I found out that I liked, no, make that loved, all things vintage. So, selling my finds became less likely to happen and I kept more and more. Ooopsie. I know that none of you have ever done this....

I have way more than I can ever list and sell or keep, so the sorting has began. I was super excited to find some goodies in the closet - so excited that I didn't even mind donating the five tubs of off casts that I decided were not worthy of selling or keeping.
Here are the goodies that I found that I had either forgotten about or have no recollection of ever having bought. Sad, eh?
So, I dug in some junk, found some treasures, got rid of a bunch of things and never even left my own house. Sweet!
I'm off to the Mall (yes, I said the Mall) to try to get in on the free cosmetic settlement, then off to our first Unified Volleyball practice of the year. The Coach is super sweet to us and still lets The Bean play even though it is a school function and he is homeschooled.
Have a good day!
wow, that childs quilt is adorable and love the mini flash cards. Fun to find things you forgot about!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of shopping your own closet but you've taken it to new heights! I think you should leave that fork in the pig's hand...looks like she took a big chomp out of it!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT Annalee IS CREEPY!!!
ReplyDeleteIn the same boat as you - too much, but can't bear to part with it. I used to be so good about listing things, too. I'm sure I don't have anything that great packed away, though!
ReplyDeleteI am completely scared of that pig!!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I want to go shopping in your closet, Shara!! I love the doll quilt, and I have a rainbow dictionary that I was going to use for scrapbooking...never have used a page though. I have a barn that is full of stuff, so I know where you're coming from. Gotta start getting it pared down before I'm too dang old to get it done!! *elaine*
