witha'K'quilting Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I donate too to the local thrift. I love shopping at yard sales...but hate having one! Have fun today and tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I'm with Kristina. Love to shop them, hate to have them. I give my stuff to St. VdP or ?? and take the write off on my taxes. No one wants to pay a "full price" that you put on the stuff, and I never know what price to put on them. This solves the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaDay Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 well the good thing I started is that if it goes out, and doesn't sell, then most gets packed up onSunday and to GW. decluter yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 That is certainly one way to declutter. Just don't decide to bring it back INTO the house. That would be VERY BAD!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchinsally Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hate having them also. I usually just give everything to our church for garage sale weekend. However, I am having a fabric sale tomorrow to hopefully get rid of some of my fabric inventory. Though my studio really doesn't have the space for it, when I first started 5 yrs ago in this small town, all of the quilters were wanting fabric. Thankfully I didn't spend too much on the investment because they certainly didn't flock my way. And since then, another lady has opened a store. The local quilters still don't flock to her. She has exactly the same brands as the "quilt shops" but, they would rather spend +$8 yd versus +$4 yd. Me, I just want my space back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April W Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 My sister came over at 7 am yesterday and helped me go thru everything that had been pulled out of the sewing room to lay the new wood floors. We cleaned out and disposed of 13 tubs and 4 drawers of fabric, yarn and miscellaneous stuff. Eight bags of fabric are going to the church ladies who make Hospice lap quilts. Toys were handed down to the next generation. And 6 bags went to Goodwill this morning. Sis was there until 4:30 yesterday and told me I'm not allowed to buy anything in Paducah next year.

sspingler Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I belong to our local freecycle.org . Would rather give to people who need it than to give to our thrift shop. They belong to the church and their charges are outrageous. One dresser I thought about buying at a garage sale was $20 and after being given to the thrift shop, had a $80 sticker on it.

LinneaMarie Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I agree Julia!! I've had stuff marked 25 cents and they want it for 10 cents!! HUH???? Good for you, April! But don't listen to your friend about buying at Paducah! You need new STUFF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April W Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Linnea, It was actually my older sister who laid down the law. But I have 13 empty tubs and 2 whole shelves in the sewing closet that are empty, plus my guest room closet has a little space leftover even though we got all the grandkids toys we kept in that closet. My DH says he can't remember the last time the guest room looked so clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchinsally Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 We'll my fabric sale is over. Didn't even make $100 and even that was at 50% off and I'm still having to pay the sales tax. Oh well, a few more items gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gable428 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Julia, you are brave. I am too impatient to have a garage sale. I give my stuff to Goodwill or Salvation Army. Twice a year a lot of our neighbors get together and have a yard sale and after the first couple years of asking me, they don't even bother mentioning it because they know I won't participate. So it's always funny waking up and finding most of the neighbors are having sales, except for us:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
