January Pare Down - The Final Installment

Guys, this is it, the challenge to purge 111 in 1/11 ends today.  Last week was miscellaneous week for me.

I purged:
1 old hairspray
1 old nail polish remover
1 pair of crutches (this is not a challenge, universe.  I need both my feet working, thank you.)
1 folding screen
1 container store box that was filled with melted wax.  Awesome.
12 old Bath products that make my excema mad. 
10 books
3 Computer software cds and their boxes

And this dresser and no-longer-working TV from previously unseen (because it's hid-e-ous) no-man's corner of our bedroom:

Oh, the things I have planned for you, corner.

I was just going to toss the dresser to the curb for today's trash pick-up.  And then I thought, let's see if I can sell it on Craigslist.  So I listed it for $10, and got four calls immediately.  First person to my house bought it for $10 and I was hooked.

So, I weeded through my pile of clothes.  A lot of it is pretty bad - stained or shurnken or just so old it's not even worth it.  But I pulled out 30 of my best pieces - all J.Crew, Gap, Anthropologie or Polo and took them to our local consignment store...where I was told "We don't buy J.Crew, Polo or Gap.  You might want to try Buffalo Exchange. They accept more professional pieces."  Apparently I'm not trendy enough for my zip code.  Seeing as how the Buffalo Exchange is a good 30 minutes away, I think I'll donate them.  While wearing my stodgy conservative clothes and pearls, of course.

So, the grand total of things purged: 246.  Not too shabby.  Thanks for hosting this challenge, Jenny.  I didn't think I had a lot of excess, but apparently that was not the case.  Mr. B's ready for me to stop getting rid of things - but I think I'll continue with our kitchen cabinets.  And then I need to do a deep clean of every room in our house.  Anyone want to host that challenge to hold me accountable? :)

Link up with Jenny's challenge - it's been so fun, thanks to everyone who participated!
