This thread began 6 years ago and is timeless. We are going through 37 years of stuff to compact to a house 1/3 the size. We asked ourselves how do we get rid of the cute things our kids (now mid 30's) made as youngsters? Then we remembered going through my mothers items 4 years ago of the cute things I had made. It was fun to see the things, but it was time to let go. We've started 3 piles, with each of our children's names on. They can make the decision of what they want to keep from their early craft days.

We know all the furniture can't fit. To sell it for penny's on the dollar isn't financially responsible when we have children that can use the items. They can have what they want. Other items we can donate.

Now for my question. What do you do with something you don't use often, but when you need the item, can't live without?
