REDNESDAY - TRASH IT! & EMMA'S WORKSHOP


Welcome! I hope all you Americans have a fun and safe 4th of July weekend!

I have begun a wonderful new "program" from Brocante Housekeeping called "Trash It or Treasure It"! It's a 28-week program that helps you declutter your life and house a little at a time. If you're at all familiar with Brocante, you'll agree with me that this is "scrumptious"!


So I am seriously going through my stuff and will be putting some of it on eBay and Etsy. I will go through my books, too. I'm almost tempted to get a dumpster, tilt the house on end, and empty it out to start with a clean slate! But, I will follow the program. (yes, there is red in the promo pic!)


Secondly, I don't know how many of you remember Emma from Sweet Things blog. I had a giveaway last year that included a badge/pin that she sells:

I was just checking out her "Bluebird Workshop", and saw that she has two very pretty necklaces for sale, and thought I'd share them with you.

The first is a Scotty Dog Necklace ~

The second is a Vintage Button Necklace ~
Emma is one talented young lady! They each sell for 12 pounds/$18. Go buy one today!


Now, it's your turn! I think I will alternate between the Basic List and the Thumbnail List each week, to satisfy everyone!

    Hi, Sue,
    Thanks for hosting this fun party. Right now, I can't get Mr. Linky to work to list my post.
    I was using "from file", too.

    I'd love that program, but I love to trash things. Really, I love living very minimally. Anything just sitting around, I want to trash.

    I hope all goes well with your decluttering. At this point in my life, I could certainly benefit from such a program.:)

    I love the trash it or treasure it idea. I don't have an Etsy shop, but I surely can declutter and donate to the local thrift stores. (As long as I don't linger and bring home more treasures!)

    Thanks for hosting Rednesday again!

    I love this!
    "I'm almost tempted to get a dumpster, tilt the house on end, and empty it out to start with a clean slate!"
    I have been saying that so often to hubby lately and he agrees! Of course, it's mostly my junk that is cluttering up the house! I need that program! Thanks for the link!

    That scottie necklace is adorable!! I heart it. Now about that de-cluttering ... I think I need a storage room to put things in because you just never know when you will need some prop for a post!! Happy Rednesday!!!

    Love,
    Susan and Bentley
