Weeding my collection

As a school librarian every once in awhile, it was time to weed the collection. That needs to happen at my home also. This week it was the clothes closet's turn because we are getting more insulation in our garage's attic and walls. Of course, the only way to that area is through our bedroom walk-in closet.


So in about a half hour, I tried on blouses, jackets and skirts I haven't worn for a year or more and collected two bags full to go to our local thrift store. It was this past year that I went shopping with my friend Caryn in one and brought home a couple of items that I am now recycling as I weed my closet.

What a great feeling to lighten the load of choices in my closet to just a few that fit and that I like to wear. It's been over a year since I've worn something, it's probably not worth keeping. Someone else perhaps in a third world country would find it worthwhile and needed in their lives. RECYCLING feels so good!
