over the weekend i had some ladies to my home for a sunday afternoon of chatting, drinking, eating and trying on jewelry. it was a ton of fun. anyway, one of the topics of conversation was my experiences as a professional organizer.one of things that i keep coming across in many homes is...the harry potter series! i don't know what it is about these wizard books but people can't let go of them. if i ever meet the author jk rowling i am going to ask her about the spell she put on them. have you seen these books? first of all there are 7 in the series and second of all each one is the size of a large dictionary. unless you own a signed copy, or your child will read them with in the next two years (i'm being generous)...DONATE THEM. i have a client with a 3 year old child who planned on saving them until child's old enough to read them. really? that's at least 9 years holding on to something that takes up a lot of room and has no real financial value. and as my friend jamie so eloquently stated "kids won't be reading books then. they will be reading some kind of electronic device". what is your thing that you hold on to...either for sentiment, or for passing on to someone else? let's hear from you.
