Hey, that is a great idea
As far as my son's outgrown clothes, I was lucky, there was a woman who owned a thrift shop, looked over what she wanted for her shop and then wrote you a check right then and there. In the begining I'd get all sobby driving home, felt like I was giving my kid away, remembering what we were doing the time(s) he actually wore those clothes.
Later, I turned this into a positive thing, the money from the check would be used for new clothes as he grew.
Consigment stores, drove me mad, so I put the clothes in a bag and into a drop box for the various charities they go to.
Oh, it is so hard to part with things for me, my husband can easily throw things away, I use to go through bags he was ready to throw out, I once found sentimental stuff of mine, had an argument, told him throw his own junk out or let me see what he is throwing or wants to, of mine.
I am getting ready to start to part with my clutter, it's quite a task, plus I always use to by 2 of almost everything, "just in case one breaks" or if I will not be able to find the item again, this took awhile to break this habit, I used to call it the "Noah syndrom", like 2 of all creatures he loaded into the Ark, ha!ha!
Wow, this is still a project in progress, but once clutter is under way, I appreciate the openess of closests, rooms and most of all the basement.
Good luck to all of you on this thread, good one you started here
