Spring Cleaning & Earth Day Sale

Earth Week Goal #1 – Find new home for perfectly good, hard-to-part-with stuff that I love, but have never used. (Goal #2, only buy stuff that fits, that I love, that is quality and will get lots of use… )

Spring has arrived (just barely here in New England) and I am on a mission to get organized, so I am holding an Earth Day Sale!!

I recently read this fantastic, very zen, article in Natural Home Magazine, 3 Steps to Clutter-Free Living, and it has completely inspired me to tackle the clutter and change the way I live. The clutter of ‘stuff’ has definitely been stressing me out, stuff that I don’t know what to do with, brand new stuff with the tags still on it that I just haven’t found opportunity to wear, wedding presents that haven’t made it out of their boxes, stuff that I just don’t need. All of it occupying unnecessary space in my life. It’s time to get organized, to purge and to let go of stuff I have been holding on to for way too long.

I’ve got the Goodwill pile and I’ve got a pile of stuff to sell on eBay – my first try at selling on ebay, but I’ve got some beautiful things that I just can’t toss. Like 3 pairs of Beyond Skin shoes that I purchased from Amazon and have finally admitted that they are too small. All brand new, never been worn, in their boxes and they’ve been like little tchotkes in my house, to look at buy not touch. So it is time to let them go.

Eugenia Kim Designer hats made of all things – Paper!! They are awesome, but I’ve got a closet full of hats that I never wear, time to own up to that although in my mind I’d like to be a wearer of hats, in reality I can’t quite pull it off…. that is unless I find the perfect hat….

So I am looking at this exercise as a nod to Earth Day – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle by finding new homes for wonderful items that aren’t getting much love here. Find Eco-Friendly products for your home and office at Organize.com

And of course, as I just finished posting everything on eBay, I just got an invite to this new site where you can swap your clothes: refashioner.com. Has anyone tried this site? Sounds like it’s brand new and a great place to trade your fashionable cast-offs……
