- Baby Stuff:<\/strong> Since all four of our own children are grown and out of the home, why am I still keeping baby stuff? I took a potty chair, a portable highchair, and a Christening gown to New Hope Pregnancy Center<\/a><\/span>.<\/li>\n

<\/a>Fancy Grown-up Stuff:<\/strong> Moving on in age, not only do I not need baby stuff, I don\u2019t really care much about stylish stuff. Maybe it\u2019s Covid-19 keeping us all inside more. Maybe it\u2019s just that my taste has become simpler and more practical. So, I took some fancy purses, gloves, bracelets, and embroidered cloths to Curated Design & Decor<\/a><\/span>.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.susanvogt.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Days-365233-Hidden-camping-w-pop-up-tent.gif\")
<\/a><\/li>\n- Practical and Outdoor Stuff:<\/strong> Our basement storage room had a lot of camping gear (tents, stove, cooler, etc.) plus duplicate kitchen equipment, and outdoorsy hats. Half & Half Antique Shop<\/a><\/span> took a few of these items but The Roost<\/a><\/span> and its companion shop, Blondielocks & the 3 Chairs<\/em><\/span> took everything else.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Click to enlarge any photo.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Stuff that shops don\u2019t want:<\/strong> I still had some sheets, pillow cases, Christmas mugs, Halloween pumpkins, and other misc. items that were not of interest to the neighborhood shops so I defaulted to Viet Vets<\/a><\/span>. It\u2019s not local but they do make local pick-ups and it\u2019s easy.

<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nBUT, what if I don\u2019t live in greater Cincinnati<\/strong>, much less Susan\u2019s neighborhood? Where should I take my stuff so it does some good and doesn\u2019t do harm (such as contributing to a bigger landfill)?<\/p>\n

Sorting through misc. stuff can be fraught with thorny decisions. True, I\u2019m not using it now, but maybe the next time we go camping we\u2019ll want that old cook stove? Or maybe our kids will want it? Or it has sentimental value. These can be tough \u201cfirst world lifestyle\u201d decisions.
