‘Thrifting’.

The trouble is you need space for all those shelves.

We're practically decluttered now and I do find myself thinking if only I'd kept that I could have done this with it. However I know in reality if I had kept it the item would still be sitting on that shelf!

Was undecided about putting this on the Decluttering thread, but decided to start a new one.

On my Facebook site, these reels keep coming up showing people ‘thrifting’ (in the USA).

They show shelf after shelf of stuff, vases, ornaments, crystal, kitchen paraphernalia
 and what the buyers do with them.

It’s fascinating, the new life they breathe into ‘Grandma’s stuff’.

We are always saying how no one wants our stuff, but looking at some of these uses that are found for them, I find myself thinking “I could have done that with that bit of crystal” etc.
