Make money while you de-clutter!
It's almost that time again. Last year's New Years Resolution to get organized will be renewed again this year, although I have made some progress.
When I saw the needlepoint I hand-stitched for my daughter in her yard sale pile (after I got over the heartache) I got inspired. Since then, I have made four trips to a local consignment shop with items I still love or that are sentimental, but have no place in my current home. "Bite the bullet, Kathy, the memories will have to suffice."
Sometimes I go to Decades, 2661 N Federal Highway, Ft Lauderdale. I love that shop and have recommended it several times in this blog. The owners have a good eye and they price things to sell. Click here for more.
This time I took carloads to the Las Olas Mini Mall, 1517 Las Olas Blvd, which I also told you about in a previous post, click here. My vinyl LP collection, I don't even have a turntable...he's already sold 15 of them!! My mother-in-law's antique Italian prints sold the first day they were there. Go have a look, I suspect you'll be glad you did.
How do you keep up with your clutter? Do you have a favorite consignment store? Or do you sell things online? Donate? Yard sales? Or...heaven forbid...toss?
