A Downsizing Update

A few people have asked for a list of everything I've offloaded over the last 2 weeks (either through donation, gifting, or selling):

Items I've sold on Craigslist:
  • Dining room table
  • Sleeper sofa
  • Ottoman
  • Wall decor
  • Bosu ball
  • Bicycle paraphernalia
  • Egyptian rug
  • Guitar
  • Wheat grass juicer
  • Starbucks espresso machine
  • 2 sets of curtains
  • Dresser
  • Never used TV wall mount
Donated
  • 18 pairs of shoes
  • 2 bags of cloths
  • 2 purses and a wallet
  • 1 piece of luggage
  • Jewelry box
  • 2 table cloths
  • Over a dozen items acquired on travel excursions ("not souvenirs")
  • scarves, hats and mittens (former Minnesotan -- had my fair share to offload, still could do more)
  • Various office supplies (see "Why We Sweat the Small Stuff")
Gifted
  • 2 tennis rackets
  • mini speakers
  • basketball
  • Duvet and sheet set
  • Paints
  • Sketch pad
  • Note cards/thank you notes (a box full)
  • Paper + all scrap-booking related items
Still for sale on Craigslist
  • 4 sets of curtains
  • Lamp
  • Antique drop leaf table
  • Love seat
  • Tray with wicker cover for outdoor dining
  • Book case
  • Set of stones for hot stone massage (from a former life) + 2 gallons professional grade massage oil
  • Ikea office wall hanging units
Not feeling the need to reflect too extensively on the list in this moment. What I can say is a) it feels great, b) it's a lot of work to downsize, and 3) let me know if you want to buy any of these remaining for sale items!
