What I Threw out To-day: TEXTILES Galore

Ag obair [working] go moch [early] ar maidin [in the morning]. Tá sé [ It is] deich [ten] nóimead [minutes] chun [to] a naoi [nine].

The items in this blog entry are from the front room sort-out. Yes, I know I am not supposed to be doing detailed sorting in the front room, just to throw things out or keep them. But in keeping with the DIGITIZE and DISPOSE policy, I do have to go through them and to list both what I keep and what I throw out, if for no other reason that I will have some kind of record later when much of what happens in this process has well faded from memory.

LARGE IBM BOX (now empty) was very heavy

Contents subdivided into small boxes Red Recipe book - took out hand-written recipes, recycle the rest by sending to library.
Small image shows hints from Woman's Way magazine around 1970's showing how pensioners had even less to subsist on then than now. (click image to enlarge)

Have discovered that most of the bundles in the IBM box, are too big to fit in the small boxes without re-packing. Well, just have to knuckle down to it I suppose, but not getting things done very quickly. Good job I had a snooze before I came back in here after lunch, otherwise I might have just run out screaming.
Box 9 done - had to remove original breadboard also wooden lampstand. Will put in some other box.
Box 20 done - contains 25th anniversary and Elizabeth's 50th, plus few items son.Also removed photos of 25th party.

Am thinking of throwing out the

but will wait and ask nat library do they want it.

COFFEE-COSY
This cosy was originally big onough to fit quite a tall coffee-pot. Obviously it had a laundry misadventure. It was knit by my mother, and is now stored in the box containing other items that are connected to her. KEPT

WOODEN MAKE-UP BOX

This wooden box dates back to about 1966. I made it at the wood-work class I attended in Kilternan Tech'. The need for a box like this arose from the Betty Whelan 'Poise and Personality' Course that I took with my friend in the Central Hotel at the George's Street end of Exchequer Street.
The documentation from this course formed part of my Degree Show. it is now packed in one of the boxes, but I am not sure which one.
I think I also found a wig from this course , but am not sure where I might have put it. I'm pretty sure I didn't throw it out.
Elizabeth Make-up box in green plastic bag to store (doesn't have list of contents. Need to search for this. In 2008 items from this box were used in Archive EC video for Claremorris. KEPT
TEXTILES
To begin with, I was mixing CLOTHES and HOUSEHOLD, as can be seen in this first image. Subsequently I listed them separately.

CLOTHES

Black overcoat
Navy Duffle coat
Maternity corset

HOUSEHOLD

Blue edged wool-blanket
Green striped cotton bed-cover. This was one of four, used on the two sets of bunks, around mid 1970's.
Yellow corduroy bed-cover made by Aileen Lane McGuire? KEPT
At the lower edge of the image are some scraps of material from various dress-making project that I kept 'in case I might use them some day'. I learned to do this from my aunt. Thankfully, I got to throw them out before some mice made their den in them as happened in her case.
