Love to give my stuff away and feel like I did a good job cleaning out the kids closet. The freeing feeling of haling it away, but to find my stuff with tags on it. Someone making a killing on my good junk and you stand holding it saying to the stranger next to you" this was mine ". The home made Raggedy Ann doll with the mitten hands that I thought looked more like Lobster Claws. Still after weeks not shopping at that Salvation Army I come back to see nobody wanted it ,and I feeling bad for the doll thinking , maybe I should bring it back home and reached to take it by the hand and realize... ya.. don't think I want it.

haha again. i have yet to have that experience. though i can say, some times i feel like i have been to the thrift store after cleaning out a closet. there's really cool stuff in these closets...maybe that is why they stay full and i never get to use the cool stuff. :)
I think we are all guilty of accumulating things that we do not really need. I have been clearing stuff to donate and it never ends.
Seeing stuff that used to be mine at the thrift store gives me a weird feeling. It's like "hey, what's that doing here? that's mine" and then "no it's not, anymore." I get a strange sense of loss.
I have been using Freecycle to give away stuff. You can Google it. Most larger cities have it. I can offer my stuff or ask for someone else's 'treasures'! It saves the landfill.
