I watched one or two of the shows and felt inspired....but then again, the thought of trying to donate sewing machines (vintage) and older fabrics, reminded me how our local Goodwill and other charity places, would not accept a lot of things from my parents' estate (I had to clean out their home, all by myself, lame siblings!).

The charities seem to want perfect items, no upholstered furniture, and nothing with older style non-grounded plugs.
And forget throwing them in the trash---when I threw away an old ironing board, our trash pickup service charged us $10 for the metal ironing board (to dispose of it!!!).
