Would anyone like a stuffed toy?

I brought down another two boxes from one of our high cupboards. One had ‘Teddies’ written on it and when I opened it, This is what I found – a pig, lion, rabbit and dog. Not a teddy to be seen. The pig on the left is a bit hard to recognise but I like the dog with the one black eye. I’m not sure why I kept these in the first place but they will now go to a thrift shop and hopefully find a new child to comfort and entertain. We took some items to the op shop this morning. It’s good to get it out of the house. By the time we go to town again, we’ll have more items to donate.

I have several stuffed toys, but I am not ready to donate them... I even have a stuffed platipus, all yellow and fluff, it's so cute.

You will have to get a kangaroo and a koala now to keep him company.

I am also getting rid of some stuffed teddy bears from my son which I have found in one of our boxes in the cellar. We will just put them in the clothes and toys containers nearby.

One little teddy my son took back with him to Ireland as it was very dear to him.

@thelme55 Some things you just can't give away. Keeping one is fine - better than keeping half a dozen.

@JudyEv That is cute of him to do that. I still have the small brown teddy bear from my son when he was still a baby. He could not sleep without it before. That teddy bear is now in our living room. I can't give it to someone. My son don't want it anymore and brought it back to me when he got married.

The pig is really cute. I went through my stuffed animals several years ago and donated a whole bunch. I just have a few left such as a Smokey the Bear that we picked up on our trip out west.

I am finding it really hard to give away some of my knick-knacks. These are easy as I don't have an attachment to any of them but I have way too many little ornaments, all of which I treasure.

@LindaOHio I bet they are very lovely. It's hard not to buy more when they are so pretty.

Isn't it fun when we unveil what is hidden in the box then try and remember why we kept it in the first place I did that a couple years ago when I cleaned out a closet. I asked Mike why I kept it and he didnt know so off to the thrift shop it went.

We are going through things a bit at a time. The things I can give up I put in a pile then Vince checks that there is nothing he wants to keep.

You can accumulate too many things and then it becomes difficult to get rid of them.
