I recently went down to Georgia to pick up a dining room table that used to be my grandparents’ years ago. I also got some neat items that were my great grandparents’, and some hymnals and other items that were my uncle’s.
So many neat things!
But my poor apartment is starting to get cluttered and I can’t properly appreciate the things like these that have and really love because there is a lot of just general “stuff” distracting and crowding.

SO! I am going into purge and clean mode! Simplify, donate and clean out. Considering that we may be moving before too long, I’m looking at it this way – if I’m not willing to “pay” for space on the rental truck for an item, I’m not going to keep it.
And one of the perks of spring cleaning? Decorating! Maybe if I get enough done and get rid of enough, I will treat myself to a small something-I-really-love from this treasury I made of decor from Etsy. This is the feel I would like my home to have. (And can you tell I love maps??)
Thanks so much for including my cloths here April.
I LOVE to purge. We've found a charity here that is a true charity for clothes and housewares and only low income families and refugees can receive everything. For the things that I don't consider "good enough" for that, I post on freecycle and most stuff gets taken!
And then, the stuff that doesn't go, or stuff that is too random to post on freecycle, we leave on our curb on one of the 2 annual "give your junk away" days. I don't remember what the official name of it is but it's an awesome way to get rid of truly random stuff.
