[item] Lot of 4 kitchen thermometers
[purchase info] Purchased new from housewares stores or coffee shops
[time in my possession] Approximately 13 years
[last used] Over 5 years
[difficulty level in getting rid of it] Easy
[destination] Thrift store
[info] I had a ‘bouquet’ of these in a small vase of coffee beans. This is a true picture of excess, as I can only use one at a time. I kept my 2 favorites, one in use, one in the dishwasher if it’s dirty. Why did I feel the need to have 6 of these??? My senselessness on display here. :(

[item] Bin of 4″ slate tiles
[purchase info] I got these for free, as they were leftovers from a tile project
[time in my possession] Approximately 3 years
[last used] Never
[difficulty level in getting rid of it] Medium
[destination] Given to a friend
[info] I had to get rid of a lot of tile. I have projects I want to do, but I just don’t know when or if I will ever get to them. I gave the tile to someone that will use it.

[item] Photo reflector, double sided
[purchase info] Purchased on eBay
[time in my possession] Approximately 5 years
[last used] 3 years ago
[difficulty level in getting rid of it] Easy
[destination] Donation to church
[info] I have 2 of these. I don’t need two and I never used them both at the same time. This is the larger of the 2, but I prefer to work with the smaller one. This was not a good purchase, it was me being a hoarder. ;)
