danshari

Lately we’ve been danshari-ing (purging)

We are lucky because in Japan there are a lot of places that will buy the purged things 

Not all places pay you a lot of money for the purged items but it is better than “just throwing it in the trash” or paying for seals so that the city will pick them up...

I recently took my beading stash in as well as some jewelry

We also found out they will also take our old smartphones, so I was trying to erase all our info from the phones

Since I forgot how to use the old models, I was glad that You Tube had tutorials on how to use them

Top photo: my very first iphone…3GS?! so teeny

And my second iphone 5S, this was teeny too

We still have a lot more stuff to purge but since the shop we go to only gives 30 minute appointments, we’ll just keep doing a little at a time

Hope you have a safe weekend

I kinda miss those phones that neatly fit in my hand.

i wonder if they have something like this here. I have tons of beads, wires, tsuji, chains, etc. I was just going to donate to either Moillili Community or Goodwill but also keep thinking now that I'm retired, I have time to do this. Not! My eyes are so bad.
