I decided to tackle my basement storage this month. Of course, not my entire basement, as that would be crazy, just my excess household "domestics".

You know the stuff I am talking about...tableware, glassware and bridal gifts that although were given in the right spirit, are not really practical for the way I currently live.

Here's a few examples of what I found...
 
  -An electric carving knife, used once - a disaster! Tom does much better carving the turkey with a sharp knife.
 
  -A punch bowl with eight matching cups, used once at Matty's christening.
 
  -An electric coffee grinder, never used. Dunkin Donuts is more convenient, plus these days Keurig is my new best friend.
 
  -Barware..I think I may have had a drinking problem (kidding!) I found 8 Martini glasses and 12 Margarita glasses. I was able to donate my barware to a good cause. You know who you are!

A number of organizations accept household items including the The Salvation Army. The majority of my items (a car loads worth) were donated to Morgan Memorial Goodwill.
