What to keep and what to toss out

It is Friday and Fridays are or fun.  Life is a journey and along the way we accumulate a lot of stuff.   This year I am taking on a 365 day project  to de-clutter my home and I am making progress but sometimes I have trouble deciding what to keep and what to throw out.

I found this photo in a drawer.  It is of our son Andrew standing in front of the house the year we moved in.  The picture is a treasure and I am thrilled that I found it.  I never looked for it because I did not know I had it.  The two houses behind his head were torn down in 1996 and I can see the stack from the old Xcel energy plant that was removed in 2008.

I want to toss or donate this shirt but a friend of mine is telling me that there are people who will pay for these vintage  shirts.  This is a knit turtle neck woman’s size small.  I will mail this shirt to anyone in the continental US who would like to buy it from me.  I can accept credit card payments over the interent and will pay the shipping.  One way or another this shirt will be gone by next Friday.

I found this shirt in the back of a closet.  I have not worn it in a decade or so.  I am going to keep it and wear it but not until spring or summer. I had no trouble getting rid of the two bazilandy wire hangers I found in that same closet.  They went to the St. vincent De Paul thrift store on West 7th street along with some clothes and a wire spice rack that I tried to pawn off on my daughter.  She always was the smart one in the family.  

After I got rid of the excess stuff in the closet I had room for my luggage which was sitting outside the closet.  Luggage really should not be in a closet it should be on an airplane but that is the subject for another Friday.

What is hiding in the back of your closet?
