I loved my wallet, but the seams had all burst and stuff didn't say inside it, so it was time to get a new wallet and bid this one farewell :(

Item #38

J got this awesome tricycle from her grandparents...it was second hand and it was great, but the wheels were balding and it was hard to ride on the sidewalks around our house. When J got a balance bike for her birthday, we gave the tricycle to her old daycare. We'd been taking it there almost everyday anyway and it worked way better on their paths than on the sidewalk. It's nice to know it's still being used and that when we were done with it we could give it to someone who would be able to use it.

Item #35 & #36

We sent our washer and dryer away to be recycled. We have been putting this off for months...and of course as soon as we got rid of them, we replaced them with new. So there's no extra space in our house because of it, but our electricity bill is a lot smaller...

Item #34

Oh this book. It was horrible. But maybe someone else will enjoy it. Right?

Item #29

We gave this to my cousin and her husband at their wedding this summer. Her sister and I had talked about it beforehand and decided it could be the traavelling family wedding gift. The recipients have to take good care of it and then send it along to the next cousin who gets married. In theory it could live at someone's house for a few years or a few weeks. The names and wedding dates are recorded on the bottom of it. Even though it never lived at H's house (she got married two months before me), we decided that hers would be the first date on the bottom because she concocted this plan with me.

Item #28

Today we said goodbye to this old school sewing table. I quite liked it, but it was time for it to go. You can read the story of the sewing table here. We managed to sell it on craigslist, so we’re a bit closer to having our wonderful living room storage unit.

Item #27

We borrowed this painting stuff from F&J last summer when I did J’s bedroom and bathroom. Ten months later we finally returned it. And yes, it counts. We had to get rid of it at some point, giving it back is how we’re getting rid of it!

Item #26

Our 2.5 quart Corningware cracked. Right down the side. But for some reason, unknown to me, I didn’t throw it out. Even though I had replaced it. It’s gone now.

 

[This is not actually the broken one that lived in our cupboard for months. I forgot to take a picture of it.]

Item #25

This is something we finally gave back…after, oh, three years, maybe longer. It’s my parents’ and my mom brought something to town in it. Maybe when J was born. Possibly before that. We sent it home with them the last time they were here. Finally we remembered…
