I'm planning a garage sale on 9/17. I've cleaned out closets and drawers. Priced most of it, too (doing it a little at a time really helps).
I'm not so much concerned about who gets what.....I only have two boys and I highly doubt they'll be fighting over my Vera Bradley purses! I just like things to be minimalized and organized. I hate clutter. When I stopped working I decided that 37 pair of shoes was just sinful....especially when there are people who'd love to have just
one! Most of my working wardrobe was donated to a local charity here in Lawrenceville (The Quinn House). Someone who's looking for a job could get some excellent use out of those clothes. They're a wonderful organization.....check them out!

I've already had one garage sale....a couple of years ago. I've managed to accumulate enough stuff to have another one.

This will be my last garage sale. Mark my words. There is nothing I need that I don't already have. If I get anything new it's going to be a waterproof house for my outside kitties to sleep in during the winter. Or a scratching post/house for my inside kitties. I get just as much enjoyment out of watching them enjoy these things as they do.
I totally understand the need to feel you have things "under control", B2Y. I feel so much better and relaxed when my house is neat, clean and organized. I think I'm the total opposite of those hoarders that are shown on TV. I've already got the Sunday paper in the recycle bin by 10 AM on Sunday!
