While rambling in my blog about my blog’s purpose and contemplating participating in NaBloPoMo again to atone for not making any blog posts in the month of June, I saw that July’s NaBloPoMo theme is “Saved”. You don’t need to follow the themes to participate, and I believe the theme is completely open to interpretation. The first thing I thought of was all the stuff I’ve saved and kept over the years. Some of the stuff deserves to be saved. Some of it does not. I decided that I will use the NaBloPoMo theme this month, and post a photo everyday of random stuff I’ve saved.
I hope that it will be interesting to somebody. Please feel free to comment. My blog accepts comments from anybody, but if you haven’t commented before, I have to approve it first.

Inclusion in this blog does not give the stuff a reprieve from being donated or ending up in the trash in the future.
