I have had this six piece sectional couch for close to thirty years (according to my daughter)…

it had resided in the living room, and for the last number of years, in the basement family room…

a few years ago I brought up three pieces for the living room again, as the hide-a-bed was moved into the den…

in the recent decluttering process downstairs, the three remaining pieces needed to find a new home… two came up to the living room and one was already in the back storage room… the living room was overflowing, lol…

I thought about putting two in the office, but that was really going to fill up that small room…

so I decided to give them away… my daughter was very proud;-)…

a few days ago they were stuffed into the truck and delivered to someone who could use them…

between that, and the chair being fixed, the living room has returned to normal and I am one happy camper;-)…

today I was able to rehome a few items…

I am constantly on the lookout for things I no longer need around the house…

managed to find a home for an ottoman, Queen Anne pot and a dozen wine glasses…

makes me happy when I can pass along items to others who can use them…

also nearly have a box full for give away…

plates…

on Christmas Eve day I bought some new plates I’d been eyeing for a while…

last night we used them for Christmas dinner…

today I had to find a place to put them… had a good time going through one of the kitchen cupboards and making space… was able to let a number of things go which always makes me happy…

later in the day I spent some time searching for something on the hallway bookshelf… and in the process was able to set aside a number of children’s books… again, way to go me…

dishes have been put away, give aways packed up, and books ready to be picked up by a young friend…

mugs…

I have a shelf in a kitchen cupboard where my mugs go…

a few taller ones go on the shelf above…

the goal is that when I get a new one I have to give one away…

over Christmas I have accumulated three new mugs, two as gifts and one that I picked up at the Assiniboine Park WildThings Gift Shop…

very happy that I was able to take out four mugs to put in the pass-me-over box…

while having tea with a friend today we discussed how much she loves my mugs… we decided that, as it gets more difficult to let a mug go, I shall pass it along to her, knowing the mug will be loved, lol…

this might just make it easier;-)…
