Garage sale therapy...

Everyone has heard of shopping therapy- when you go shopping and spend money on something that makes you feel good. Well, I tried the opposite last weekend and it was wonderful! I feel GREAT! I had a garage sale both Saturday and Sunday. It feels fantastic to gather things that I don't need and get paid money for it. The first day we made close to $300. It was heaven!! And I seriously had concerns whether or not anyone would spend money on anything. That is how bad I thought my junk was. So after day 1, I realized what a lucrative business garage sales are... so I decided to dig even deeper for more crap that people might want for our Sunday garage sale. I put out a ton of new stuff on day 2. It was that second round of decluttering that really made a difference. Our garage is now so much more organized. Our closets aren't filled to the brim with purses, bags and clothes. Everything has been through round 2 of decluttering and it is the best feeling!! So yes the garage sale made us money but more importantly, it decluttered our life. I am breathing easier with less stuff lying around. I am still trying to sell stuff on KSL that didn't sell but if that doesn't work, those things have seen their last day with me. They are being thrown away. Hooray for garage sales!
