    I try really hard to declutter something if I buy/bring something new, but it doesn’t always work. BUT, this week I have been hard-hearted and decluttered wardrobes of things which still have plenty of life in them, but no longer fit. The Good part of this is – a well-known charity has been the recipient

  5. There is little point in keeping items that don’t fit it is better to find them a new home! Well done for the decluttering 🙂

  6. Thank you for your kind words 🙂

  7. It is difficult but satisfying 🙂

  8. I am tired of my clutter. I’m purging it as fast as I can. You are right, you can’t organise clutter and it really does feel better when it is gone.

  9. I recently read that Americans have 3% of the world’s children, but buy 40% of the world’s toys!
    Thanks for your inspiration.
    I find one way to get rid of clutter is to be willing to get rid of cheap seasonal decorations. Sometimes I try to save the decorations until next year, but find they really didn’t hold up in storage. Instead, after I’ve enjoyed them a season, I’m willing to get rid of them and find something new next time. The other option is to get nice seasonal items that store well, and then only buy more when you’re ready to donate the existing decorations.
    I just know that sometimes I open boxes and find tattered paper flowers and bent decorations and think, “Well, this is just junk now! Why on earth did I box this up and find a place to store it?

  10. That is a shocking statistic! I just tend to buy the ones that will store well, I have learnt from past mistakes! Thanks for sharing and visiting 🙂

  11. I know that feeling! I sorted a filling cabinet and got rid of a mountain of paper! Thank goodness that I can re-purpose the paper and make fire bricks for the winter! Thanks for visiting! 🙂

  12. This is good information…. it is so easy to have WAY too much… and culling items is so important.. we are in the middle of doing that right now for a big garage sale…

  13. Ah, this is so true! Lately, I have been very purposeful about shopping with a purpose and only buying what we need. I used to go shopping for fun and see what I could find on the clearance shelves, but it was really just unnecessary clutter. Great encouragement!

  14. Thank you for your kind words, it is hard to realize that sometimes you just don’t need more stuff or that you think a bargain is too good to miss when actually all it will do is collect dust! Thanks for visiting 🙂

  15. This post came at the perfect time. I need to take some time to do some major purging of some old things and this has light a fire under me. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday.

  16. You are welcome 🙂 I love the party! 🙂
