It's a blast - my week all at once!

(Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, AND Friday!)

Candles, a beer pitcher, cutesy notepads, another batch of books, rags, and old soap!

Sunday: Tapers with a lean - not a pretty sight in any candlestick. And not worth saving to make homemade candles. . . been there, done that, and ready to move on!

Monday: Hmm, a relic from college days? Since we already have a lovely metal water pitcher, a beautiful glass Sangria pitcher, a cute glass dispenser for sun tea, and a porcelain milk jug. . . I think we can serve beer from their bottles straight into fancy frosted pub glassware (which we also have!). Cheers!

Tuesday: One word: goodbye! No need to be held hostage by notepads. . . really!

Wednesday: I'm so grateful to our public library for maintaining a fabulous re-sale shop: I've purchased some wonderful books for so little money, that I'm happy to keep that cycle going with donations from our house (some of which are books that I bought from the library shop: closing the circle!).

Thursday: There will always be worn-out clothing to convert into rags. . . no need to keep a mountain of them, especially when they so enticing to the mice who invade our basement seasonally.

Friday: Who among us hasn't dreamt of captaining a cottage industry centered on homemade soap? What, not you?! Then you won't be shocked, as I was, by how I simply threw away the scraps of old soap that were supposed to be turned into chic new bars. How about that!
