Tackle it Tuesday - Clothing

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

This week’s tackle has no picture because it’s an ongoing project, so where I’ve been tackling doesn’t look like much has been done! Let me explain.

We moved back in the fall and have a lot in storage on the back porch of my Mom’s building that was her antique shop. So, with the nice weather and inspired by Dan Aslett’s book, A Cluttered Mind, I’ve decided to tackle all of our storage and either donate or reorganize what we plan to keep. Hopefully we will be donating at least 75% of the stuff.

This week I’ve been tackling all of our clothes that were being stored on the back porch. I only rescued a few items and donated the rest. I had been keeping most of it on the off chance that we had another rummage sale then I could make a few dollars. What I have since realized is that there will always be items that I can add to a rummage sale and I don’t necessarily have to keep boxes of stuff to sell once a year.

I hauled off three garbage bags and one plastic tote full of clothing. It felt good to give it away and get it out of my life. I literally felt like a weight had been lifted. So hopefully I can sort through some other stuff later this week and make another donation drop. It would be wonderful to fully tackle it this week. When I get it all done, I will definitely take pictures.

Sure, I could post a ton of tips that I've read or found on the Internet, but I prefer to use tips and hints that I actually use.
