HALLOWEEN DECOR:

3 piece "I Smell Children" porch boards
3 Sanderson Sister figures
1 Halloween wreath
3 plastic rats

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS:

The sad thing is this is just a drop in the bucket when I look at all the things I need to get rid of. I hope October will bring much more decluttering.
* Who would have ever thought there would be such a demand for clothes hangers? I figures I would have maybe one person at best who wanted them. I was wrong!
You and your husband did really well with your decluttering! I have a goal of decluttering 10 items a day in October; maybe you'll join me?
ReplyDeleteCount me in!
DeleteClothes hangers sell very, very well! You did a great job this month. :)
ReplyDeleteI wasn't even trying to sell the clothes hangers. I just wanted to get rid of them and was surprised at how many people wanted them.
DeleteWe finally got rid of many of my husband's work clothes earlier this year. He definitely didn't need most of them, not to mention the ones that didn't fit. I have a closet full of decluttered stuff that needs to be donated. I'll get to that soon. Maybe.
ReplyDeleteTheHub still has a boatload of clothes, but this was a big first step for him. I hope the next time we can get rid of much more. I tend to get rid of things seasonally, so I did not have a lot to sort through. I am also not a clothes/shoe horse.
DeleteMaybe a guy who needs nice work clothing will come across all your husband's clothing. That is a lot to declutter. Did you manage to free up one of his four closets?
ReplyDeleteNone of the closets are empty of his clothing, but one of the closets was so full you could not get the hangers to slide down the rod to accommodate even one more hanger. It is better now.
DeleteGreat job. I'm a tortoise rather than a hare so it's very slow going for me, but it feels so "freeing" when it's gone, doesn't it. And the odd thing (to me) is that once I get rid of that "essential thing", I never seem to think about it ever again!
ReplyDeleteIt feels great to get stuff out of the house.
DeleteI try to declutter on a weekly basis. I just got rid of a few more books. I do need to tackle clothing soon. We have yet to clean out the garage.
ReplyDeleteOH, don't even mention the garage or basement!
DeleteWow. Love it.
