Ok, I may regret doing this if it becomes a headache, but...

Our local goodwills and stuff have been 'not taking donations' since before Xmas, and I've been going through clothes like nuts. I have literally been THROWING AWAY clothes. It's emberassing, I hate that. I am not going to sell them though because.. 1. I don't want to do garage sale 2. Don't want to be responsible for someone paying on ebay for used clothes and not liking it because it may have cat/dog hair and/or smoke smell.

However, I have a lot of trashbags of clothes I haven't been able to throw out, I was taught that's wasteful, and I had hoped local places would start taking donations again.. no luck and I need the room.

So, I am going to compile a big list of pics of clothes I have to get rid of. Some have only been worn once, and some (very few) for years, but I won't put anything in the list that I think no one would want.

I'm going to compile the list, and it's free.. first come first serve, all I ask is that you pay for the shipping, which you can do via paypal or write me a check! I ship from work, which is discounted, so it is quite cheap, but I do have to reimburse the company for the shipping charges.

There's all kinds of things, from pants, tops, sweaters, hella cute knee-length cardigan that took me 2 years to decide to spend the $$ for and then I could wear it only once before I got too small (I really lament about this one.) From sizes 24-18.

If you want to get the e-mail with all the pics/info please send me a PM with your e-mail address. It won't be a spammy thing, I'll send it out once and if you want something let me know what. If it's already taken, I'll let you know.

I do have 3 long haired white cats, a boxer dog and me & DH smoke. The items will be clean, but I know some people are sensitive to those things, so keep that in mind :thumbup:)

To PM me...

I am going to work on it tonight, so I should have it sent out tonight or tomorrow night.

Im not sure where you live but if the weather is nice why not try and have a yard sale to get rid of the clothes and you can make a little money? I did this last summer with a friend and we both did really good. Im planning to do it again this summer and I have already started to collect bins of too big clothing.

good luck

As I said in my first post, I don't like the idea of garage sales :tt1:)

I don't want to feel bad selling something to someone and they end up not liking it, and they're my neighbor. I want to just donate them, but some reason goodwill is too good to receive donations for a while now.

oops im sorry i missed thay line!!

You don't have clothing drop bins in your area? We have them all over back home and here. That is odd.

Weird request can you snap a pic or two of some of the cloths (that cardigan your talking about sounds like something I have been searching for!!!) I am very tempted but I am a visual creature:lol:

Laura----I still need larger tops---let me know if you have any room to haul any of it to TX!!!!

Thats really nice of you. I just might do this as well once I begin losing weght faster :tt1:

The drop off bins (tables) have signs on them that say "NOT TAKING DONATIONS AT THIS TIME".

I don't know, I never saw this before, but it's been like that a while. I guess not enough people are buying, they are overflowing out of their stores.

Yes Kat, PM me your email addy just so I have it in the list and don't forget to include you!

The cardigan is so pretty, it's creme and semi-sheer with long renaissancy flowy ruffle sleeves and corset-laces up the back. I oogled it 2 years, then finally decided to fork out the cash for it (size 24) and I was barely a 22 at the time, it is so large on me it's ridiculous. Not for lack of trying, on several occasions I tried to pull it off, but it does NOT look good when it's too big.

I PMed you my email addy .. and OMG that sounds EXACTLY like what I have been looking for .. *dies* Like I said can you PM me some pics?

*bounces up and down* pwetty pweety pwease?!?!?!?!? As my son would say with cherries and snails on top?!?!?!?!?!?

*edit in* My mom and I are both wanna be tailors (with both of us being big we had to learn :tt1:) and my tailor works with formal wear all the time so if I can't (or don't have the confidence) she definitely can make it work for me.

You could always have Free Sale too. It's like a garage sale but you don't charge any money.

I would love to take those off your hands...unfortunately I live so faraway from everyone. Dang it.

*cry* I talked to the hubby last night and he nixed it. He said "now baby, you are having this surgery in less then a month do you really think new cloths will do you any good right now" ... damn it I hate it when he is right .... *cries more* I am still soooo tempted cause two of those sweaters I would love to have. I might not listen to him .... LOL
