It's been way too long since I have shared my treasure stories.
I found two great purses last week....The first is a black leather Tommy Hilfiger - simply adoreable purse and then a Liz Clayborne bigger bag, but still a purse, but big enough to fit my Kindle and computer. Both were brand new...with store tags - Total for both - under $10.00. Best part of the deal, I have had so many people ask me where I got my black leather purse. I smile and they say...and I quote, "don't tell me this is one of your deals that you get?" I just smile and then say, yes...it sure is!
Happy Trails!
Let me know your best bargain!

Storage
We finally got new attic stairs this weekend...yeah! I have been waiting almost 2 years, I hate to say it, I was the one who broke them and we just haven't had time or the handyman to put up a new set. I have to say, I can't wait to get my stuff stored back where it belongs till I need it.
The thing I'm most anxious to do is go through the stuff up there, that I haven't missed for so long and donate it! Yes, donate it! It feels so good to donate the items that I haven't missed or that I don't need anymore. We just finished our taxes and those donations really add up. It's does take longer these days to donate the way you need to, just in case you get audited, but it's worth it. I have 3 bags open when I go through drawers, bins, closets, etc. One for donations, one for the trash and one to keep. This works so well. As soon as I am done with the purging process I take one to the garbage, one goes into the car to drop off at St. Vincent DePaul and one goes back into the bin or in one of the closets in the house for another season.
Trust me, mark the calendar and decide which room, closet or area of the house needs to be organized and just do it! It helps the organization you are donating to, it clears more space for you to reorganize your own space and it feels great!
Let me know what you do with your donations....do you give them to the local rescue mission, Goodwill, or do you just throw them out? Once again, if you donate, you will be happy when you do your taxes! Trust me on this one!
