<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 176023, member: 23"]I found it really hard to be in the business because I had such a hard time letting go of things. I've been so good for the past couple of years. No yard sales, no auctions. My downfall is the local Swap Shop at the dump. It's a small cottage - people bring things they don't want and you can take anything you want for free. Free is hard to beat. I have gotten the most amazing antiques there. My husband has a rule - for every item I bring home, I have to get rid of something. I just get rid of brand new things that I pick up at Ikea or someplace and don't like anyway, so he hasn't figured out that I'm keeping all the good stuff. As cluttered said, I can still see the floor!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
