Naturally, if you're married to a photographer, you have it all professionally photographed, edited and touched up and made purty!
Then, once all that is done, you commence the big PURGE.
Any guesses on what this is?
I asked Laura a question a while back about a couple of appliances I had that I never used but didn't want to part with because I might need them one day... Her advice was something along the lines of if I hadn't used them (at that point, it was 10 years) would I ever and what could be in that space that I really do use.
I didn't have the courage to ask her what to do with things I've purchased that I don't remember buying...
I'm sure I thought this was really cool when I bought it...
This little treasure involved a box of wine... Need I say more?
I know - harmless little picture frames... Except for the fact that I made these up more than 10 years ago for our old kitchen. My husband thought they looked stupid (I'd framed pictures of various spices I'd cut out from the side of a gift bag - he had no vision) so I never hung them up. Ever. I tossed them in a box... And they stayed there for eleven years...
Eleven years... Who hangs on to stuff they aren't using for eleven years?
I don't know how to do counted cross stitch.
This is a piece of very stiff, hand woven 'cloth' from the Philippines. In my defense, I bought it as part of a fundraiser the women in the cafeteria where I used to work were doing. In 2005.
Spring tension rod: 1999 New, in package...
See, if there really ever was someone who needed the 52 Week Challenge, it most certainly is me! All of this stuff (along with items like unopened Christmas ornaments from Ikea, four partially painted birdhouses, a ream of 11x17 vellum, a magic eight ball, and 17 plastic embroidery framing hoops) is diligently being posted on our local Earthcycle and Freecycle groups. because one person's junk is always another's treasure!
Thanks for stopping by!
