Out With The Old & In With The New

The holidays are right around the corner. It is such a busy time for us. Most of our birthday’s are also during the holidays as well. This means that gifts pour in by the dozens. They seem to come from every direction.  I am thankful for the wonderful gifts but it is overwhelming trying to find a place to put everything. So each year about this time, I start thinking about a yard sale. I collect things throughout the year to sell and they stay in my attic until I gather enough stuff.  A few months before the yard sale, I try to go through each room again to see if there is anything that needs to go. I don't make a master list for all the rooms and a date to finish by which is unusual for me. I just go through each room as I have time or am in the mood. 



 As I shared my Treasure Under the Stairs with you, (here), I gathered a few more things for the sale. 

I am getting rid of some deviled egg containers, dish caddy, and some cake containers.

Next, I went to our bathroom sink. Wow, how things seem to pile up in a hurry.

 

I found two matching baskets in the attic and set to work. I pulled everything out and threw away things that were old or no good. I put the rest back in “his” and “hers” baskets. After about 10 minutes, everything was in place and looking good. 

I am getting rid of two baskets and a toilet paper holder. I am giving away some face wash and wipes to a friend in need along with some toddler tooth brushes.

Now, what else can I find for my yard sale?
