sinking in

[holli]

It is starting to become apparent that I own a lot of goddamn clothes. Just sorting through my dresser, I came up with one big bag of stuff that's going to the shop and one that's going to the thrift store. That still leave my double-barred closet and my giant dress rack. Not to mention all the other miscellaneous crap.

If anyone is a size 8 or so and interested in some perfectly nice jersey tops and wrap sweaters that are insufficiently vintage-looking for my wardrobe or the shop, feel free to call dibs before I take them to the thrift store.

I am considering weeding my books. It's gonna hurt, but I think I might need to do it. The pile of coffee-table books is nearly as tall as the coffee table.

Ooh!

I have always had a fantasy of constructing a usable coffee table out of coffee table books. :)

The wrap sweaters are highly relevant to my interests and I would be willing to trade baked goods for them also.

Ooh, baked goods are in fact relevant to *my* interests. Remind me of where in the area you're located, and how easily you can make it out to College Park?

[v_greyson]

I am in DC and I have a car, so I can drive out to College Park no problemo. But I perhaps spoke TOO SOON in my overenthusiastic love for both baking things for people and getting new warm sweaters, since I have to write a huge-ass legal brief this weekend, which, naturally, I haven't started. So the odds seem slim that I could maneuver an exchange of baked goods for sweaters THIS weekend, and I'm guessing you're on a fairly constrained schedule. However, on the off chance you could do it next weekend, I would be happy to make you a batch of cupcakes/cookies/brownies/a layer cake according to your preferences, deliver it, and take the sweaters off your hands.

Oooh. What do they look like? That's my size, I'd be happy to pay shipping...

[holli]

Honestly, they're just some fairly boring H&M wrap sweaters--idk if they're worth shipping, or if I'm going to have the spoons to get stuff to the post office before I move.

[holli]

There is a nonzero chance that I will have a fit of OUT OUT GET THIS CRAP OUT OF MY HOUSE between now and next week and take it all to the thrift store, but if that does not happen they are yours.

[holli]

But then how will you read the books?

[holli]

Also there will be more clothes-weeding between now and the move-- this stuff was just from my dresser, so there's still the closet and the garment rack to sort through!

[kinetikatrue]

I would both be interested in a bunch of the top/sweater type stuff and willing to play intermediary if you wanted to hand if off to me for V to also pick through?

I too am in the market for shirts and tops.
