Getting ready to sell….Getting ready to move….Getting ready to …. Stay put!

It’s time to reduce, re-use and recycle and get your house in order whether you are staging and selling or just de-cluttering for your own peace of mind.

If you are planning on selling your home or you are getting ready to move you are likely already overwhelmed by the crop of ‘stuff’ that has grown, cultivated and flourished in your closets, basement and attic…and let’s not forget the garage too,  since you moved into the place.

It can be hard to let go of stuff.  One way that makes it easier for me is to know that my favorite jeans from yesteryear or that treasured platter from a flea market of days past will find its way into a new home and into the hearts of a new family of treasure hunters.

I get great delight in the thought that things that have given us pleasure or joy will do the same in the lives of a new family which helps me donate versus hoard more stuff that we don’t need.

So, time for my annual (and popular!) list of where to donate, recycle or get rid of, well, just about anything you can think of!

Thanks to all who supported our Fairway Gives Back to Boylston Street: B2B Boston Strong event last Wednesday-it was a success, despite the rain.

Fifty people enjoyed special lunches at various restaurants, and over 100 Gift Bags were distributed to shoppers!

We appreciate the enthusiasm and support everyone has shown, and hope that people will continue to visit and support the many wonderful businesses on Boylston Street.

Fairway is continuing to fundraise locally and nationally for the One Fund. We will provide a final tally in the coming weeks.
