Can you help?
We have had someone reach out who is looking for estate sale companies in the Oshkosh area. We don’t cover that area but would like to provide some vetted recommendations.
Are you familiar with any estate sale groups in the Oshkosh area?
Let us know!
Thanks.

This was at Hinterland Brewery in Green Bay, WI. It’s a fun way to repurpose antlers or display antlers.

I know we’ve been a bit M.I.A.
We both are taking some time for relaxation, health, and rejuvenation.
This show has been one of my favorites in the past week! I love to see where the teams thrift from and how they use their purchases!

Here’s another book. I have actually purchased this and am planning on taking it on a trip I’m taking shortly.
Has anyone read this one and what did you think?
Any other books on the related topic that you can recommend?

“I stood in the middle of my room holding a box of old birthday cards, tangled charger cords, a cracked mug I never used, and clothes I kept promising myself I’d wear again… and suddenly I realized: I wasn’t holding onto things. Things were holding onto me.”

That was the feeling I had while reading Nobody Wants Your Sh*t: The Art of Decluttering Before You Die by Messie Condo.

I picked this book up expecting a funny, blunt guide about cleaning out closets and throwing away junk. And yes—it is funny. Messie Condo talks to you like that brutally honest friend who loves you enough to tell you the truth, even when you don’t want to hear it.

But somewhere between the jokes and the swearing, this book quietly broke my heart in the best way.

Because it isn’t really about stuff.

It’s about all the memories, guilt, fear, and “what ifs” we hide inside our stuff.

The old shirt from a version of yourself you no longer are. The gifts from people you don’t even speak to anymore, but keep because throwing them away feels like throwing away the relationship. The drawers full of “just in case.” The boxes in the corner you haven’t opened in years but somehow still carry with you emotionally every single day.

Reading this book felt like someone walking me through my own house and gently saying, “You don’t have to keep carrying all of this.”

There was one moment where I had to stop reading and just sit quietly. I looked around my room and realized how much of my life I had spent holding onto things because I was afraid to let go—not because I needed them, but because they reminded me of who I used to be, who I thought I should be, or who I was afraid of becoming.

And that hit me harder than I expected.

Messie Condo’s message is simple, but it lingers: one day, someone else will have to sort through all the things we refused to deal with. The clutter we leave behind becomes a burden for the people we love. But more than that, it becomes a burden we carry while we’re still alive.

This book didn’t make me want to become a minimalist overnight. It made me want to breathe again. To create space—not just in my room, but in my life. Space for peace. Space for healing. Space for the person I am becoming.

So after I finished the last page, I opened one drawer. Just one. And for the first time in a long time, letting go didn’t feel like losing something.

It felt like coming home to myself.
