Yesterday morning, as I was getting ready for work, I lost a shoe in my closet. This sent me on a searching expedition through out all the junk in the closet. I took out almost everything from the left side of the closet and left it out while I went off to work. Since we are moving, I thought I would go through all the “goodies” when I returned home.
Last night I went through my collection of purses and my “long-lost” shoes from the back of the closet. I threw some out (the wonderful straw bag with the broken handle that I won’t fix) and designated some for the Goodwill. Then I looked at the purses. As I had taken them out I thought, “I love this one! (or that one).” But many needed to be cleaned.
I took a scrubbing pad to one and cleaned up the outside and set it to dry. Another one, that I have saved for about 6 years, I threw in the washer. I don’t think it was supposed to be washed but I figured it was the washer or the Goodwill or trash bag. It washed up well but I need to rewash it with some stain remover. Then it will be usable again.
Now I have 3 “new” summer purses! They are like new to me since some of them have been in the closet for years! So, go through your old purses and rejuvenate them rather than running out to buy a new one
