I will continue to do this, but my photographs will be one thing that will never be minimal, because all my photographs bring back such lovely memories and warm feelings. They would be the one possession I would grieve about if there were a fire. </p> <p>LOL! Then I went to bed and dreamed about uncluttering. I dreamed I came to this thread and reported that 10 boxes of clutter had left my house today. It was such a good feeling, even if it was only a dream. </p> http://unclutterer.com/discuss/topic/wc-18th-jan-2010-what-items-left-your-house-for-good-this-week/page/4#post-2905 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 19:32:31 +0000 donnatella 2905@http://unclutterer.com/discuss/ <p>I got pretty inspired last night - I sorted through my unread Time magazines (I finally let my subscription lapse last month after 8 years!) and put all the issues that didn't have interesting cover stories in the recycling bin. It will go out tomorrow night.</p> <p>And the best part is that I did it while I had my dinner heating up in the microwave! It only took a minute and half, and the action freed up a good amount of space on my bookshelf. </p> http://unclutterer.com/discuss/topic/wc-18th-jan-2010-what-items-left-your-house-for-good-this-week/page/4#post-2887 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 10:46:40 +0000 Claycat 2887@http://unclutterer.com/discuss/ <p>Second Saturday - junk pickup at recycling center<br /> Out: my MIL's last old, faded, filthy, threadbare oriental rug, her old TV, and an old, small shelf she had that had a huge stain </p> http://unclutterer.com/discuss/topic/wc-18th-jan-2010-what-items-left-your-house-for-good-this-week/page/4#post-2860 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 15:33:18 +0000 Claycat 2860@http://unclutterer.com/discuss/ <p>Today: Out - 2 bins of paper to recycling<br /> In - boxes and cardboard I found at recycling to ship eBay stuff </p> http://unclutterer.com/discuss/topic/wc-18th-jan-2010-what-items-left-your-house-for-good-this-week/page/3#post-2798 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 19:31:12 +0000 Claycat 2798@http://unclutterer.com/discuss/ <p>Oh My!

Two columns that were holding up a beautiful piece of glass, the columns were tacky, they are gone! A laptop table, desk, desk chair, rug, all are gone!</p> <p>Oh, and more Tupperware (if you are following along on my personal blog, <a href="http://drawerbydrawer.wordpress.com/)" rel="nofollow">http://drawerbydrawer.wordpress.com/)</a> you know I cleaned out some food storage containers. I met a lady who just moved to Houston and gave her 8 more storage containers, as well as two crystal low ball glasses as a house warming gift. I also gave away a T-shirt. Oh, and I gave a collectible cat item to my neighbor. And a lamp base went out! </p> <p>It was a very productive, uncluttering weekend! </p> <p>Nothing new came in! </p> http://unclutterer.com/discuss/topic/wc-18th-jan-2010-what-items-left-your-house-for-good-this-week/page/3#post-2510 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:54:57 +0000 Zora 2510@http://unclutterer.com/discuss/ <p>Out: a bunch of chatchkes (knickknacks) that I'd been dragging around and storing for many years. I threw out a bunch: the ceramic bell without a clapper, the hair (I think it was mine and my ex-husband's, but ... who needs hair?), the dried-up koosh ball, a Buddha figurine with a broken-off head, and a bunch of other stuff I've already forgotten. The things that were still good but no longer of sentimental value or any use I put in a bag to take to my Zen group; someone else may want them (a small ceramic jar, a wooden cat, a papercutter that makes little stars, and more). </p> <p>To be mailed to my brother, who cares more about family history than I do: my grandfather's early 1900s Swedish-English pocket dictionary, used when he first came to the US. </p> <p>Kept: an antique Persian tile, a youth drinking wine, painted with tiny, lively brushstrokes. An antique silver baby cup, to be stored with those dang antique hand-embroidered baby dresses and the batch of handmade baby quilts I discovered, tucked away in the closet. </p> http://unclutterer.com/discuss/topic/wc-18th-jan-2010-what-items-left-your-house-for-good-this-week/page/3#post-2505 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 13:14:37 +0000 Olga 2505@http://unclutterer.com/discuss/ <p>Out 2 pair of pants for charity<br /> books for a nursing home<br /> 6 different garments I bought from Coldwater Creek last sale , sizes are so<br /> over the place </p> http://unclutterer.com/discuss/topic/wc-18th-jan-2010-what-items-left-your-house-for-good-this-week/page/3#post-2497 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 10:28:10 +0000 themusiclivez 2497@http://unclutterer.com/discuss/ <p>This weekend my husband went through a bunch of his stuff and got rid of an entire bin that was taking up space in our closet. We also have a lot of CDs and sports memorabilia listed on ebay, so I guess that stuff is "pending".</p> <p>As far as what came into our home - nothing this week! </p> http://unclutterer.com/discuss/topic/wc-18th-jan-2010-what-items-left-your-house-for-good-this-week/page/3#post-2496 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:48:47 +0000 Catrien 2496@http://unclutterer.com/discuss/ <p>Old office supplies. </p> http://unclutterer.com/discuss/topic/wc-18th-jan-2010-what-items-left-your-house-for-good-this-week/page/3#post-2490 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:22:59 +0000 Abeline 2490@http://unclutterer.com/discuss/ <p>Out: A paper box full of memorabilia from vacations (pounds upon pounds of brochures, maps, et cetera).

Last week,</p> <p>Out: Pile of "collectables" inculding stuff like dolls, lunchbox, stickers, bath set and toys. I managed to sell them and make a little cash, but I'm more happy about dropping them off at the post office. ^_^</p> <p>In: Swiss family robinson book. </p> http://unclutterer.com/discuss/topic/wc-18th-jan-2010-what-items-left-your-house-for-good-this-week/page/3#post-2475 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 02:18:11 +0000 AJ 2475@http://unclutterer.com/discuss/ <p>(Technically the weekend)</p> <p>OUT: Old cushion insert</p> <p>IN: Acrylic stand for my Food Saver I had made, with an area beneath for the containers.

A bag for recycling</p> <p>Pending: large amount of books and some bric-a-brac for the charity shop - will start a new thread mon with pics</p> <p>In: the OH's old landrover ambulance, full of tools and rubbish - his baby but I hate it. Its been in storage miles away whilst we were out of the country and I didn't miss it one little bit. Oh well, The new house we are moving to, hopefully, has a garage, so at least all the rubbish won't migrate back to my undserstairs cupboard.</p> <p>In yesterday - groceries, some nice face stuff (I'm a product whore) and three books. </p> http://unclutterer.com/discuss/topic/wc-18th-jan-2010-what-items-left-your-house-for-good-this-week/page/3#post-2263 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 01:20:14 +0000 Zora 2263@http://unclutterer.com/discuss/ <p>The picture frames (though I was unhappy when the guy at Goodwill just put them on a pile; the glass is fragile, dangnabit!). </p> <p>I managed to get rid of MOST of the clothing I'd been hoarding. All I kept were the underpants (I *am* slowly managing to lose weight, and I'll need the smaller ones eventually) and two jackets, for looking professional. As for the rest, I asked myself, "Will I feel elegant and self-assured if I wear that again?" and the answer I got was "NO". So I took them to Goodwill. I hope some shopper will cherish my handcrafted large-size clothing. </p>
