how to get rid of your “nice” stuff

the man and i are moving. so moving means cleaning and purging. i am doing a quite large decluttering project. i always thought i was the type of person that only kept what i needed. no junk for me. until the day my boyfriend went down to our storage unit in the basement (we live in a large building) for the first time since we moved there and he came back saying “i think you are a closet pack-rat”. uuughhh. the words i dread.

anyhow, a friend of mine turned me on to Table to Teapots in Acton, Mass. its a great place to consign some of your nicer things that you just grew out of or changed your style a bit. i worked on cleaning out the storage bin and realized that i hadn’t given up my “crunchie-tapestry-moroccan-lantern days” as a college girl. after making an appointment 2 weeks out, we drove up saturday and dropped some boxes off and 2 lamps that just didn’t work for us. very easy - you get 50% of the selling price. they consign anything of value over $10. anything under they send to good will for you.

consign away…..
