Right now my energy for organizing freecycle or going to the thrift store is nil, so I looked around the home office here and found a mess of clutter, like, can’t even access the shelves in here clutter. It’s a big job but for a start: A tote bag a friend made me in 1995 […]

I have a box of candles. Some are smelly, some are not. Some are tapers, pillars, votives, etc. They’ve been collecting dust for 4 years. I promise I only lit the ones for this picture that had previously lit – there are plenty of unused. If you want them and you are local (not shippin’ […]

Last weekend I had to recruit an ally in the purging project. See, sometimes you let your closet accumulate things you are attached to, things that you are wearing in your head, but are not wearing in reality.

Oh fuck I’m running out of time. OK So I’m getting rid of a pair of chinese slippers (no support!) moccasins that got me through many a renfair (also no support, also haven’t worn in 2 years), a non-working vintage lamp I bought off ebay many moons ago (probably can be fixed if you want […]
