The more we get rid of, the more excited I get about getting rid of things. I’ve mentioned a few times the piles and piles of things we’re getting out of our house.
We had a yard sale yesterday.
Can you believe that amount of stuff?! For 2 people in a 1,200 square foot house? And that wasn’t even all of it, we were still putting things out at this point. We didn’t even put out the clothes we had because we didn’t think they would sell.
I’m still not nearly finished simplifying in the house, but it feels so good to have all that stuff out of our living space!
We only sold about 1/4 of the stuff, so the rest will be taken to a group yard sale next month. At least it will only take us 2 trips to get it all there instead of the 3 it would have been. So about 75% of the stuff is back in the crawl space.
We are just so far from the city, that I don’t think yard sales are worth the amount work they take anymore. From now on, we’ll stick to Craigslist. Especially since we never plan on having enough things in our house to have a yard sale again!
