We usually go through stuff about every 3 months, so it doesn't get too out of hand. I've got 4 boxes packed ready to go to Salvation Army right now.

Let's see - where to start???
I have a beautiful, white bird cage from our wedding that we used for the envelopes. Haven't touched it since May 6, 2001. We have extra weights, fishing poles, a printer, fax machine and various travel bags all sitting in the attic that I would LOVE to get rid of. Plus, my FIL's fishing poles that he gave to my DH which are up there as well.
Basically, 50% of my attic could go - including the crutches I discovered last week. It's the bottomless pit up there!

Ooh, the bread machine is definitely something that could go. Lots of other things too if I ever had time to go through them!
The sofa from my husband's grandfather should be thrown out, but it never will be.

Just one thing? I guess our garage (and contents) doesn't count as one, right?!
I would have to say my piano. My grandfather bought it used in the early 1940's for my mother. He paid $20 and a cow for it. The dang thing is at least 75 years old, no aesthetic value at all (even when new--if the Amish built pianos, this would be one--definitely not "fancy"), and is well past being refurbished in any way, shape or form but it is a family heirloom and I just can't part with it. From kindergarten to h.s. graduation, I played it almost every day of my life. I'd sooner cut off a limb than get rid of it, even though I rarely play anymore.

I have an everyday religion that works for me. Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line.

A wooden bench I have in my living room that is beautiful but it dates back to when we decorated our homes in a country style.....it just doesn't fit in with the rest of the stuff.

About 75% of what is in our garage could be thrown. Maybe the we could finally get both cars in.
Kate Enjoy the little things in life!
