Welcome back to another Slow Fashion Friday video where I am decluttering my home & my reselling business, one corner, one room one bag at a time! This week I’m putting all of my energy into decluttering my bookcase which housed over 600 books! I never thought I’d get through this project! I can't wait for you to see how it turned out!!

Welcome back to another Slow Fashion Friday video!! I am diving head first into the mountain of books that packed my bookcases to the max! I'll be sharing some personal stories about some of the treasures I find and why I decide to keep things...or let them go! Let's declutter together!!

I also donated my dad's baseball book collection to a local highschool. the librarian said they always need books that boys would enjoy. they even put a label in each book, and there were 4 boxes, stating that they were from the personal library of John Damiano, my dad who had recently passed. it made my heart happy

Lumpy's mellow reaction around the books, shows how magical books are. You got a few shots of him here that are worth framing, then adding to the bookshelves. How nice to see Jay in the video, and hear his thoughts on the process. You both did amazing thinning out the books.

Absolutely loving these videos. As a fellow reseller, former teacher, and mom I can relate to you on so many levels! I have a love of children’s books and have thousands, I am inspired to weed out a few more of mine after this video! Keep up all the hard work. You are doing great!

Oh Lori this was so fun to watch. If this reselling thing doesn’t work out for you, you and Jay can always do a series on cleaning people’s houses. Of course Lumpy would have to supervise. Between the three of you, I was cracking up. 😂

@AmandaPruitt 8 ай бұрын

I sell all my kids books to once upon a child, they almost always buy them all - and that’s where we buy the next levels and such. They sell books for $1-$5 and typically pay out 30% so it’s not a lot but if you have one locally it’s worth a stop before donation!

Nice to hear you lived in SF. I did as well age 21 in 1969 till I relocated to Roseville. I also lived in San Mateo and Belmont! What great life experiences at that young age and the Diversity I was exposed to. ☮️❣️lots of California history in that time are my memories. I relocated to Fort Worth for work in 1995. I left my heart❤in San Francisco.

My two boys went to Catholic school from preschool to college. We had probably 3000 books. I let the boys pick whatever they wanted to keep and then I donated the rest to the Catholic middle school library. Sad but it was really rewarding knowing they were going to a really good cause.

Books have a lot of emotional attachment to them. I just did a full clean out of my bookcases, as well, & had a difficult time getting rid of a lot of them, but I did. I know I still have the memories. You did amazing, Lori. You’re making so much progress! I’m proud of you! 😊🫶🤗

@LorisBostonFound 8 ай бұрын

Thank you Linda! I'm proud of you too! I think that taking a moment to enjoy the memories has been helpful. Having a laugh or going through the pages was sometimes enough to then let it go. Congratulations on your clean out!

@dmreddragon6 8 ай бұрын

There's just something about books for many of us. Sounds like your husband had his own library. Sounds like a nice relaxing space. I've noticed that books even have a calming effect on animals. I was still surprised to see Lumpy so mellow around all the books.

You inspired me to declutter and one of the rooms I started with was our “quiet room”❤️ Four built in bookshelves filled with books, photo albums, Bibles, diplomas, who-knows-what-else 😳 I put all of my husband’s things into boxes and he is struggling with separating himself from them. Your husband did a great job!! I am going to have my husband watch this!! Thank you!!

I am a new subscriber from Germany. Really love your videos on both Channels. I retired in beginning of September and from that on I am decluttering. I live in a 2 room Apartment and so I think I will be ready soon. But 6 years ago I had to clear out my parental House because it was sold. So I know very good how many stuff accumulates in a big house. I am looking forward to your next Videos. Kind regards from North Rhine Westfalia.
