In reply to the discussion: OK, I have HAD it with minimalist shaming!!!! I love my stuff! [View all]Niagara
(11,802 posts)I recently told one of my adult children that they were going to be so mad at me when they have to go through all my things. They really surprised me and made a positive comment about all the cool stuff that they would discover in my Niagara hoard.
It's alright to enjoy and be content with your treasures!
I recently decluttered a homemade teapot, sugar and creamer set that I rescued from heavy trash day. These items were bulky and I really didn't have a place to put them. So I decided to donate them.
I also decluttered about 5 pairs of pants that were 2 to 3 sizes now too large for me. I have many more too large of clothing to go through as I don't need it anymore. Things get complicated with weight changes and attempting to declutter clothing that one once wore and liked is difficult for me. It's a slow process.
I also donated some dress boots that I've had since 1999? They're nice looking boots but they didn't fit anymore. They had a slight heel on them too. I'd rather my feet be flat on the ground these days!
On another note, it's okay to donate items that no longer serve any purpose!
