My dresser:

  1. necklace and earring set - have long secretly disliked this set
  2. another necklace - slightly sentimental (from DH) but rarely worn
  3. four more stacks of bangles - aah!
  4. a small container - used up the last of the mask, and did NOT keep the adorable container
  5. little japanese house office organizer - really cute craft actually
  6. Ben Franklin photograph stand - once held the saying "Either do something worth writing, or write something worth reading"
  7. small note papers

Seven things

More paper purging. Perhaps parchment, poster, or papyrus? No: pieces, packaging, post-its and pens.

  1. more cards given by friends/relatives - these will be reused to make other cards by other people for others!
  2. post-its and small notebooks - let someone else make use of them before Little One shreds them
  3. some holiday wrapping paper - have cut down on the gift relationship
  4. brochures for going green/gardening - hoping to help a few
  5. more papers - old documents, shredded
  6. more baby art - again, nostalgic, but a little less so
  7. calligraphy pen and other pens
