When The Resale Shop Says No
It was a rare occasion; an event I rarely have the pleasure of seeing.
Of course the havoc created throughout the house, something similar to a windstorm, from said event is another matter.
The Little Black Dress decided to clean out her clothes closet. And when you can’t see the bed or the chairs or the sofa, you know it’s a serious cleaning.
And The Dress was quite proud of everything she was actually going to give up. And she loaded the Suburban up and headed off to the resale shop.
And that’s when reality showed its head.
You see, some of The Dress’ dresses got denied.
This was a rather humbling experience for The Dress, who I will say in her defense is quite chic in her style.
“If you blog about this you are going to point out that of course they took all my shoes and of course they took all my purses.”
Duly noted.
Tastes change. Our tastes change – and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. But we need to remember that what we value isn’t always valued by others. To others, our precious things are just stuff.
Again, not necessarily a bad thing. But in the end, it’s just stuff.
But the closet is minus some clothes. I know this because she took them away. The fact I still can’t see any difference in said closet is another matter.

purple heart – they take everything. in fact, they call us about once a month, and let us know they’ll be driving through our neighborhood, just in case we have anything ready to give. when we can, we put a box on the front porch. they pick it up by early morning, and drop off a signed receipt, so we can claim the donated goods on our tax return.
