Items 47-51: Attic Treasures Galore! (Rachel)

Today I ventured up to the 'attic' of my tiny little bungalow and braved the nails and shingle splinters to come up with some treasures to give away.  There's a lot up there, mostly papers and junk that honestly should be pitched but that will have to wait until spring break!  It's amazing how space gets filled up so quickly with crap you don't really even want or need.  It can be overwhelming to go through it all but honestly, at this point in my life, what else do I have to do? So here are items 47-51:


Cushions I bought from the thrift store 6 years ago, tags are still on them.  Dog not included....

A very well worn bathing suit.

A mini skirt I've never worn.

A scale that isn't so accurate.



Luggage that has seen better days.
This project has been amazing - it has given me perspective on what is important in life, it has made me dig up and dust off things I had forgotten I owned.  And it has made me really look at what I need and don't need.  I can already tell that it's going to get really hard to give things away toward the end of the year.  It's hard now - particularly when it's a sentimental item!  I can't imagine what it is going to be like when I'm out of useless stuff to give away!  Good thing I have an attic full of crap.........
