Empty drawers, empty closets.

I found a good way to get rid of those newspaper clippings about and photos of old and distant relatives without feeling guilty.  I bundled them up and mailed them to my cousins.  Perhaps they will get a smile from seeing them and maybe learn something they didn't know.  It cost me a lot in postage, but I feel good about it.

Last night I went through my closet.  Looking at everything with a critical eye I got rid of clothing that no longer (or never did) looks good on me or that I haven't worn in a long time.  It looks a lot neater in there today.

Tonight I'm going back upstairs to look through my sewing notions (how many of you know what those are?)  I'm actually selling some of them this week on eBay.  Yes, there is a market for vintage buttons, zippers and bias tape.

So give me a pat on the back, because the urge to save everything runs strong in my family.
