I spent the weekend emptying Rubbermaid Bins.........

and bins and bins and reorganizing and looking for more things to sell.


I found a vintage Aurora plastics model airplane kit that was never opened, which after a bit research seems to have a value at around $200...who could have thunk it? I hope I have more models hiding around here.

I also found a museum quality cathrineholm lotus leaf bowl from norway. It had never been used and was still wrapped in its original tissue paper. Classic MidCentury Moderne piece. It already has one bid on it, shortly after posting it to ebay. Here is a photo.

I found lots of teddy bears that I had purchased for the store I had intended on opening.......and never did, which I put up for valentines day on ebay....Here is a photo of a Valentine's Day Rhinoceros that I have up for sale.

......and today I will put up gift baskets with mugs and tea for comfort gifts.

I made it down to the basement with at least 5 empty bins from the second floor....and I can actually see some empty space in my exercise room. My office floor however, is covered with photographed items that are awaiting descriptions before being put up for sale on ebay....this dee-cluttering project seems to be never-ending.

It gets depressing....but, for the first time this weekend, when I saw actual floor space and the number of bins that were emptied, I felt that progress had been made....albeit, SLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!

Some days, I feel chained to this CLUTTER....suffocated by it........and that I will never be free of it. Why did I hoard so much? Did I realize what I was doing or was it a totally subconscious desire? It is amazing to me that at this time in my life, I want nothing, I don't want to shop, I don't want to acquire...I want to divest myself of the past and the sooner the better!!!

I constantly think of George Carlin and his comments about STUFF.....and how much time all our stuff takes to maintain. Why do we want so much stuff?

Gotta run, the market is opening soon....trading stocks again....

Wishing all my readers a wonderful DEE-CLUTTERING DAY....

Smiles to you,

DEE CLUTTERING
