UPDATE: Welp, I wrecked the "bus" again. Bad.
Last year, I shared that I'd created a whole new department, where items would exist for only 24 hours, to be replaced with new items the next day, on a daily basis
Enthusiastically, I plunged in and added 8 things! However, I was not paying attention to details, and I errantly listed a brand new, hand-signed-by-the-author hardcover book - for 99 CENTS! Oops. The gal who bought it got an exceptionally good deal, but that kind of deep discount wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I committed to this project.
I kept up with the adding of new things daily, until mid-summer, then, preparations for our son's September wedding eclipsed everything else. I gave up my decluttering cape and instead donned the freaking-out cape. Everything turned out okay, though. You can read about that here. Anyway, I've renewed my resolve to declutter, and some extra weird and obscure items are making their way to HoofPrints' website. In case you missed it, below is the news about the new department and the bus reference.
What else is NEW? How about a whole new department?!
Last year after my rotator cuff surgery, and subsequent restrictions on my activities, my focus has turned (again) to de-cluttering. It's a daunting task, and I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm not doing very well at it. Last year, I watched my 80+ year old parents disperse 50 years' worth of accumulated stuff - in just a few months - downsizing so as to fit into their new, easier-to-take-care-of place.
Because my husband and I still live in our current, hard-to-take-care-of place, I'm having trouble staying the course in my efforts to streamline. Empty spots on warehouse shelves are tempting repositories for that thing that I don't know what to do with. Pretty soon, that thing becomes five things, and then even more, until no empty spots.
