Purging

I have been working on and off in the kitchen. Trying to declutter/purge (you will find this to be a theme right now with me... I will be posting things here that are up for grabs. I only ask that you kick in for postage.)

So I am going to start a new section on this site that will house a list of things I am getting rid of. It isn't that I no longer love this stuff, it is just a matter of having too much stuff and needing to weed out things. I imagine we all have stuff around our houses that we have read, enjoyed, etc but no longer use. I don't read books more than twice (except books to the boys) so why is it that I hang on to them? Wouldn't it make more sense to pass them along for someone else to enjoy? Seriously, I feel as if I am neglecting these books by just having them hanging out on my bookshelves. (I really should have purged before we moved. It would have reduced our moving bill. But that is not something to think about now.) So here is the first round... I'll start with books. (Now if you see a book on here that you gave me, please do not take offense... I read it, enjoyed it and am now passing it along. I am only keeping a handful of books... those signed by the authors or that have something written in them from the giver to me.)

I'll make a button to put on the right side of the blog that will link to a full list of everything. You never know what I might put up there. I will eventually be going through patterns and pattern books (Ottobre primarily). So if you see something you like, email me or post it to comments. Like I mentioned, this stuff is up for grabs (free) but I only ask that you kick in for postage. So don't be shy. :)

I will be looking in this to recycle some of the larger items or items that just need to be recycled.
