Into the giveaway bin:
- 3 silk scarves
- 2 wrap scarves
- 6 t-shirts
- 3 lightweight turtlenecks
- 1 raincoat+hat
- 5 sweaters
- miscellaneous dresses, skirts and blouses I'll never fit into again!
- 1 red denim jacket
- 3 baseball caps + rainhat
- 1 pr. wooly gloves
- 2 prs, boots
- 1 glass vase
- a handful of very nice plastic hangers (don't need them any longer!)
I've put aside a small bin of things that are a size or two too small, but it has a time stamp on it: literally a label that gives today's date: if I can't wear them in a year, out they go. I've also got a pile of sweaters I need to try on and look at before I decide anything definitive.
Great start: I already feel ten pounds lighter!

Re-discovered your lovely blog via Viviennefiles. I was reading through when I discovered that you met Ama Ata Aidoo. She was a visiting writer at a school where I taught 20plus years ago. She needed a ride to the post office--and so ended up as one of the two witnesses at my courthouse wedding. What wonderful memories! I had no idea at the time how major a writer she was and is. I still have the little book she gave me as a wedding gift.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your frugality. That's easy for me. Getting other stuff done is a problem!
How lovely to hear your Aidoo story! I am slogging through the closets and drawers, but feel great now that I've moved it along.
