What's mine is yours... and this is why

I have been inspired by a book my sister T gave me called “Nobody cares what you had for lunch: 100 ideas for your blog” by Margaret Mason author of http://www.mightygirl.com/

I am going to combine several of her ideas for my new blog. The ideas are:

• Spill everything – catalog the contents of a space that isn’t ordinarily open to the public
• Take inventory – what do you collect? Photograph each item and explain where you got it and why (or whether) you love it
• Clean house – Time to empty your closets and fill up your blog by posting about the things you need to let go of.

I’m planning to move house in about two years time. Between now and then, I will go through my stuff and photograph what needs to find a new home.

I still actually like most of this stuff so it’s no big deal if I’m left with the lot… but I figure that there are people I know (and people they know) who could love this stuff more than me…. Or at least use it more than me.

The stuff is free for you, but if you’d like to make a donation in exchange I will donate all funds raised to Youngcare*. See side bar for current tally.

Everything given away will have to be collected because I don’t want to send anything in the mail or for it to cost me any money.

I’ll aim to post at least one item every work day to this blog… or until I run out of stuff.

My aim is obviously not to make money (so please don’t suggest I put this stuff on ebay), but to make me think more about my consumption habits, and as a fun way to recycle.

Please post a comment if you want any of these items. I’ll let you know in the heading if it has been snapped up.

Enjoy!
