Cleaning out closets!!! Day 1.......

January 3, 2012

Who knew that one walk-in closet could produce 5 bags of trash and 2 bags of donations?
I do now! I spent the better part of the day cleaning out one of the closets in my studio. There were a lot of things to throw out, but there were also some amazing finds!!! The first of the finds was a stash of cowboy themed fabric and some white flannel. Perfect for a quilted throw I have been planning to make! The second was a vintage Samsonite train case that I didn't even know I had in there!!!!! I am a collector of vintage Samsonite. I use the suitcases to showcase my wares at shops and craft shows! My mannequin heads fit perfectly in the train cases so this was a thrilling find for sure! I also came across the backpack my youngest daughter used in her travels to Australia some years back. Her older sister will love to use it on her summer research trip to Belize!!!! All in all it was a great day! Purging unwanted and unneeded from my studio is ever so liberating! I feel more creative already!!!
