Something for every finger on my two hands!
Here goes: what went, when!
Thursday - a very pretty mug that was just not my style gets to take a journey to a new home.
Friday - gone: a "gift with purchase" that ended up being a dust-gatherer instead of a treat (a metal "word sculpture" that says, somewhat ironically: Give Thanks).
Saturday - a tea light candle holder centerpiece thingy that I always envisioned gracing our dinner table, admired by murmuring guests as we quaffed champagne and spoke deep thoughts over a catered meal - no, no, no, no. . . ! (For one thing, to complete this elegant picture accurately, the candles would have to be tapers, held aloft by a number of glittering silver candleabra. You know, like at a princess' dinner table! And butlers. There'd be, like, a dozen butlers. Ah, fantasy!)Sunday - a fill-in-the-date weekly calendar - easy to pass along, since I already have another, and if I really, really need another calendar, all I'll have to do is wait for the new year's junk mail to be delivered.
Monday - I'm giving away audio books, and I sure hope there are still people out there with cassette players!
Tuesday - More paperback novels are on their way to new homes. Read 'em and pass 'em along!
Wednesday - I purchased these flimsy plastic goblets in a moment of pre-party panic, when I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the drinking/glasses ratio.
Thursday - Icky sticky tape, too tacky to work properly: begone! Who needs the hassle?
Friday - Ditto for the dried-up glue sticks.
Saturday -And so, too, sadly, for the broken crayons of my children's youth. Sure, I know you can melt them in muffin tins, in a slow oven, to make wacky multicolored crayon patties. Or use them to add color to make-it-yourself candles. Or whatever. No, thank you - really! - been there, done that!
xo, Linda
