March 7, 2010 Misc Toys

Misc Toys

We cleaned these toys out of my kids' rooms nearly 3 years ago. I had intended on selling them at a garage sale. Instead, the sale never happened and they got packed and moved to our new house. Was it really worth the effort?

March 6, 2010 Comforter and Bed Skirt


Comforter and Bed Skirt

I used to really love this set, but now I have a new set. So I kicked this set to the curb.

March 2, 2010 Children's Tin


Children's Tin

This is a cute tin that came with blank greeting cards. It's now completely empty and yet I still hung on to it.

March 1, 2010 Basket


Yet another basket

I wonder how many baskets I really have....

February 28, 2010 Car Tray


Car Tray

I have had this tray for at least 10 years. I think I've used it once.

February 27, 2010 Cow Christmas Wreath


Cow Christmas Wreath

Another item from my kitchen many years ago. Because Cows can be Christmasy too right?

February 26, 2010 With This Ring

"With This Ring"

This is a very cute figurine that we received as a wedding gift. We proudly displayed it when we were first married. Since we have moved into our new house almost 3 years ago, it hasn't seen the light of day. Frankly, I just didn't need something else to dust. It's very cute, but time to move onto the next newlywed's house.

February 25, 2010 Glass Christmas Tree

Glass Christmas Tree

I think I originally received this as a gift and it had candy in it. The candy is long since gone and although I initially thought it was cute enough to use as a decoration, it's sat in a box for over 5 years. Another "just in case" item?

February 24, 2010 Iron and board hanger

Iron and Ironing board hanger


There's nothing wrong with this... i just don't have the wall space to use it. So out it goes!

February 23, 2010 Toddler float

Toddler Float

My youngest child is now four. I'm quite sure that she couldn't even get her legs into this float. I bought this for my third child who is now 9. I'm fairly sure she can't fit into it either.

February 22, 2010 Switch plate cover

Switch plate cover

Ugly, metallic, fruit-looking switch plate cover. The previous owner of our house left this for us. How. thoughtful. After my husband switched the light switches which were installed backwards, we replaced this light switch cover with a matte nickel cover that we like SO much better. seriously.

February 21, 2010 Cow Creamer

Cow Creamer

I used to decorate my kitchen with cows. (Please don't ask me why, I seriously don't know) Cow print towels, cow stove burner covers, cow oven mitts, cow magnets on my fridge, and a cow creamer. Now I just have to find that cow sugar bowl to get rid of as well.

February 20, 2010 Basket

Basket


Yes, another basket...

February 19, 2010 Misc Baby Toys

Misc Baby Toys

We have way too many baby toys....

February 18, 2010 Annoying Bunny


Annoying Electronic Bunny

This bunny sings an annoying song when he's allowed to have batteries. Needless to say he will be moving on to annoy someone else's house.

February 17, 2010 Baby Butterfly


Butterfly Baby Toy

This belonged to my youngest child. She played with it in her carseat. She is now four and has long since outgrown it...and yet I still hang on to it.

February 16, 2010 Stuffed Tiger

Stuffed Tiger

I don't remember where this tiger came from or who he belongs to. He just showed up one day and never left... like a college roommate.

February 15, 2010 Cleats

Cleats

These were my cleats when I played softball. I haven't played in at least 24 years... and yet I still hung on to these cleats.

February 14, 2010 Floral Floor Mats

Floral Floor Mats

Nothing says Happy Valentines' Day like floral floor mats.

February 12, 2010 Book Bag

Book Bag

This poor book bag has suffered from being forgotten in our garage and is now too dirty and damaged to be used.

February 11, 2010 Happy Meal Patrick

Happy Meal Patrick

This, is Patrick (from Sponge Bob) who sits in a wind-up crabby patty. I don't get it.

February 10, 2010 Happy Meal Bear


Happy Meal Bear

I'm not sure why this bear made it into a Happy Meal (perhaps it is supposed to be one of the bears from the Disneyland show?), but it's been in a box in our garage way too long.

February 9, 2010 Futon Frame

Futon Frame

We have this futon frame that used to be my husband's bed when he was in college. The mattress has long since made its way to the dump. The frame, has taken up residence in our garage for way too long.

February 8, 2010 Mirror Wipe


Mirror Wipe

I am not sure why I have this, not to mention why it's still in the package.

February 7, 2010 Kirby Vacuum


Kirby Vacuum G2000

This was a really nice vacuum, or so the salesman said when he sold it to me. I was pregnant at the time and could barely manage to drag it upstairs to vacuum because it is so heavy. I've always thought it was a pain to change from floor vacuum to the hose. A few years ago, my husband bought me a REALLY nice vacuum (at my request) for Christmas. I love my new vacuum so much, and it's so much lighter, that I will be parting with this vacuum.

February 6, 2010 Doll Purse

Doll Purse

This poor doll purse has seen better days. She is stained and ripped and now in the trash. Poor doll.

February 5, 2010 Halloween fake blood

Halloween Blood

My husband bought this bottle of blood for his halloween costume. After he was done applying it to his clothes, I asked him to move it away from the edge of the counter. He went to pick it up and it slipped from his hand and fell to the floor, throwing fake blood all over the bathroom. (some of it ended up on the wall where our white cat brushed against it, getting blood down her side.) The lid broke in the process. I've had a fear since that day that fake blood would end up all over our bathroom and possibly all over the house. Not sure why I waited this long to throw it out.
