Black Couch

This couch used to reside at the office of the shop I worked at. Then I adopted it. As much as I think it's cool it needs a fair bit of work done to it.

Framed Gift

This was a gift for a friend. When I bought it I thought she would love it, then I didn't see her for ages and it sat around my house until eventually I thought it was so cheesy she would hate it and I got rid of it. Later I showed her the picture and she loved it.

Laptop

She did her time.

Silver Bracelet

Shiny!
Another piece of jewelery that I don't wear enough to merit keeping.

Flower Bracelet

I think I found this a number of years ago on a family trip to Quadra island. It's actually a bit big as a bracelet and works better around the ankle. I don't think I'm very big on summer jewelery, I usually stick to necklaces.

Silver Earrings

These are really pretty but they don't fit in my gauged lobes, same with most regular earrings. I hope they go to someone who will appreciate them.

Che Friendship Bracelet

I just know there's something brutally witty to be said about Che on a friendship bracelet that was no doubt mass produced... I'm just not exactly sure how to nail it.

Shoes

Sparkly imitation snake? shoes. How can you say anything to make these shoes any more wow than they already are?

Stretchy Bracelets

A few stretchy bracelets I found in my closet.

Necklace

A jewelery item I bought and wore religiously for a couple of years before it disappeared into the depths of the closet.

Toe Ring

Remember toe rings? Yes, this is one. It features a pair of feet so that you can decorate your toes with feet.

Stretchy Belt

Probably needs the elastic replaced, it always slides sideways.

Keychain

I bought this in Colombia as a gift for someone when I got back, but then I didn't know who to give it to and now I've had it for over a year.

Turquoise Pumps

More shoes. Same story as always, I love these shoes but I never wear them. I think I wore these once, but I must have gone hiking in them judging by the damage I did to the heels.

Beads

These beads came in a bead kit I got for one of my childhood birthdays. I think this may have been my attempt at making a necklace.

Three Junes by Julia Glass

Another free pile book. I just finished reading this and I really enjoyed it. Very much a character study it follows individuals from a Scottish family through a portion of their lives. It takes place on both sides of the Atlantic, in New York and both Scotland and Greece and deals with loss, and love, and the many types of relationships. Entertaining, insightful, funny, and sad.

Friendship Bracelet

I remember not wearing this, but saving it a very long time, having gotten it from a friend as a child. Now I no longer even remember who this friend was, and so the sentimentality should be cut off from the object since it has come to represent the opposite of what it should.

Battlestar Shirts

I bought these shirts to dress up as Battlestar's Starbuck, fully intending to return them when I was done with them, but I seem to have lost the receipt.

Green Shelf

We had this in our bathroom for a while but it really didn't work out for us.

Another Pair of Jeans

These would be good for the fabric, for making a denim shirt, or patching something.

Two Toned Scarf

I think the cats might have eaten a portion of this scarf because part of it is definitely missing.

Single Brown Glove

The mate to this glove must have gotten lost in one of the last moves. You never know when you might need a single glove though.

Glasses Case

Came with a pair of glasses I bought at a garage sale. Unfortunately the foam on the inside is starting to disintegrate.

Silk Shirt

Pretty silk shirt, bought it on impulse and it's much too big for me.

Levi's

Sweet high-waisted old school levi's. For someone with a teeny waist.

Card Holder

A metal card holder from urban planet. I have no idea why anyone needs anything like this... unless you have cards made out of gold! What a waste.

Light-up Star Headband

Fun! These are great for the illuminaries festival or other such events. I hope they go to a good home.

Tacky White Stilettos

Worn recently at my graduation/housewarming party these shoes have fulfilled their role in my life with a one time use (don't worry I didn't buy them new).

Converse Boots

These awesome converse boots were purchased at a second hand store in Amsterdam and I've never seen another pair like them. They're super fun but I don't wear them often enough to merit keeping them.

Cloth Bag

The good people at my sister's closet (a second hand store on commercial drive that is run by volunteers and whose profits go to helping battered women) gave me this bag to take my purchase home in, at no extra charge!

Dirt Music

By Tim Winton. An Australian drama/adventure about relationships and life and self-discovery. It was okay.

Plate

This plate was serving as a plant saucer, but the plant died.

Green and White Bag

The thing I love about this bag is all the pockets! It's amazing, it has so many different compartments and sections, without a single zipper on the outside!

Shell

I picked this shell off a beach in Colombia. It's pretty cool, but it broke when I moved. Maybe the garden wants it.

Vest

I'm just not professional enough to wear this. I think you need a blouse to go with it. A blouse? I don't have one of those things! I just get home, change out of my dirty work clothes and put on something comfortable.

Wardrobe

A big thank you to Jon and Heather for giving us this wardrobe! It seems as though we have remedied our closet problem however, by getting rid of some stuff, and by buying a horrendously overpriced closet organizer. So now we win back the space that this wardrobe takes up as well.

Pink Corduroy Jacket

This jacket reminds me of all the fun trips I had going to Victoria, where I bought it.

Plant

Please, someone adopt this plant! I know it looks a little sad, but it's because my cats love to eat it. If given the chance it would thrive! It's a swampy plant so it likes lots of indirect light and very moist soil. When it's happy it can grow quite high (3ft ish).

Gold Purse

This is the kind of purse that a mermaid would have, no doubt about it.

Plastic Mats

Two plastic sheet-mat-like-thingies. Don't know what they're for, but I'm sure we can use them at the shop for making templates or something.

Bowling Bag

Although I never actually took this bag bowling, I think it may have inspired me to bowl more often.

Li'l Hood

I bought this jacket in high school and a good friend made me a shirt that read " Li'l Hood" in honor of my resemblance to little red riding hood while wearing it. This shirt was looked upon suspiciously by teachers who missed the reference and thought that perhaps I was in a gang.

Clothes Hangers

For those of you who are rightfully giving me a hard time for not keeping up to date, I say this: At least I'm doing this right. I could devote 21 days to these 21 individual hangers, but I'm not. They're going up as one item because I think it would be cheating to do otherwise. So at least I have principals, even if I am tardy.

Sleeveless Sweater With Awesomeness

This sweater is so great I just couldn't pass it up. The trouble is that I've had it for a good 6 years now and never worn it!

Floral Dress

I love when fashion and comfort marry and produce items such as this dress. It's more housecoat than dress, as it opens in the front. The question is do I really need to keep this in my closet all year long waiting for that heat wave where it's so hot that I can't bear to even wear clothing that slips over my head, or that I need to lift my leg and step into?

Red Shoes

Almost flats, almost heels... I'm sick of indecision, you gotta be one or the other.

Green Skinny Scarf

I used to wear this scarf all the time. It's funny how you stop using something, but you keep it around because you used to use it... it doesn't make sense.

Black & White Heels

I just realized I can't even remember the last time I wore heels, or had a reason to. So off you go!

Gold Broach

Ok. ok. so it's not real gold. But it's still real bling.

Vest-y Blouse Shirt

Doesn't fit me super 100% well, but it's wool and its fun.
