Treasures from the Attic started as a weekend and evening project to rid out my closets and attic. There never seems to be enough time to get this type of project completely done, so I’ve turned it into a progressive project that is constantly evolving. It is baffling at how much “stuff” I have accumulated, and it’s stuff that I don’t use or need. I bet that I’m not alone in this battle with things…please tell me that I’m not. With that said, I’m on a mission to sell it, repurpose it, or give it away!
My mother had a special way of talking about all the “stuff” we accumulate in our lives…she simply called it “S”. Now, her “S” meant a different word than “stuff”…however, she would never use that other “S” word…do you know what I mean??! She would say, “What are we going to do with all this S?”, or “Don’t think that you are going to leave that S here.”, or “Don’t forget your S.” I can hear her now referring to hers or someone else’s “S”. Becki is so missed.
With the power of the Internet, I’m hoping to sell some of my “S” and put 25% of the proceeds to work within Legacy of Joy (www.legacyofjoy.org/). Right now, we are keeping Treasures from the Attic local to Raleigh. Who knows…maybe one day, we’ll expand it to Memphis!
