I think there were about eight garbage bags full of clothes and shoes by the time I went through my closet and dresser.

My sister came over to help me decide what to keep and what to give away. She took some clothes for herself in the process, which I was really happy about, including an outfit that she might wear when she gets married back in the Netherlands. She also accepted the earrings! Turns out they had belonged to our Great Grandmother.

My Mom also came over to help and she left wearing a jacket that I no longer wanted. Coincidently she is having a garage sale at the end of the month in her housing complex so she took all my stuff and will donate the rest to St. Vincent DePaul Charities, or to Goodwill. Fine with me!

(BTW, Goodwill does indeed appear to be “good”, and extremely good at generating revenue from their retail sales. They made over $1.6 billion from their stores in 2005 alone!)
