Since I got distracted with garden photos last week, our thing-a-week post this week is a double dose … and it’s a fairly good stack too: I can’t wait to drop this all off in the donation bin and get it out of the house!
I’ve managed to do some much-needed organizing and culling of my jewelry collection. I’m loathe to part with this lot because I do love shiny things a lot, but the reality is that none of it has been touched in more than a year. I am saving several pieces for sentimental value, and some of the pieces on the ‘toss’ pile will probably be broken down for parts (I’m a bead hoarder!), but it feels great to have a manageable collection of jewelry again. And I’m definitely wearing my other pieces more frequently – now that they are easier to find in my jewelry case!
After my success with the organized jewelry case, I decided to attack another trouble area in many a girl’s closet: my shoes. Now I’ll admit, my collection isn’t that elaborate to begin with, but I have a few pairs that have been following me from closet to closet without ever meeting pavement. I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t had enough fancy patio dates in my life lately (clearly a problem that must soon be rectified!) or simply the fact that, as a person who often walks to get to their destination, heels just aren’t that practical for me. I’m sure they will find a good home … and if I do find myself with all sorts of fancy patio dates that require more elaborate footwear … I suppose I can always go shopping! (A girl can hope, at least.)
Paddy’s items are helping to chip away at the clutter in our office. He’s getting rid of an old pair of speakers, and his university backpack. Slowly but surely, we’re making little pockets of space!
