Aha! I have finally de-cluttered something! Only 1 thing, but whatever! I have de-cluttered!!
I haven’t been able to say that for over a month. (We won’t say HOW far over!)
Here is my pretty purse, that Aunt Sherry gave me for my birthday. (Yes, Aunt Sherry from the porch. If you missed it, go read all about it!)
Unhappily, something happened, and all at once, all 4 handles were coming unglued.
It was weird! All 4, just hanging by threads! All at the same time!! I don’t remember doing anything to cause that.
Anyhoo, can’t use it like that, I might lose all my valuables!! Yes, my watermelon Purell IS very valuable, to ME!! {Do you KNOW how much this stuff costs at Bath and Boo boo Works??? And it has a hanging strap!!}
So, regretfully, I kissed the purse goodbye, dangled it over the trash bin…
and let it goooooo.
RIP, pretty, purple, paisley purse.
I found it really really hard to say goodbye to my purses too. And now my current one is on it’s last legs. I’m so proud of you for farewelling your poor maimed purple purse.

It’s so hard to get rid of things you’ve loved for so long. But in the case of that purse, I think it was a wise decision. It was obviously longing for a bit of peace and quiet in that bin – and I’m sure Aunt Sherry would understand. 🙂

Thanks for the understanding, Millie. Yes, obviously it needed to be retired. Shhh! I haven’t told her yet!

I have to declutter my purse like once a week, or else it literally weighs me down.
