While working with my organizing clients for almost 12 years, I have found many interesting items.
Here are just a few:
3 Rabbits
2 living in a garage and 1 in a living room. Yes, the living room.
Thousands of Dollars
The largest find was $5,600 of dividend checks that had never been cashed. I found them in a shoe box under a senior's bed, who was recently moved to a memory loss assisted living home.
A $20,000 Gold Rolex Watch
It was in a plastic zippered case that came with a piece of luggage. The owner wanted to donate the case. I always check inside. The client was very happy when I pulled out the watch from a hidden pocket. He thought he had lost it.
A Diamond Ring
A senior client was convinced that someone had stolen the diamond ring from his home. I found it under a bureau when I moved it. An innocent person was exonerated.
2 Pizzelle Machines
Just last week, I found 2 pizzelle machines for a client. They were lost in a chef’s pantry. Yes, she needs both machines when making numerous pizzelles. My Grandmother Gelardi made pizzelles paper thin. I can still smell them. Yum!
Photo of my Mom and Dad
A photo that I had never seen before of my parents when they were young and dating. I found it while cleaning out my Aunt’s home to prepare it for sale. What a treasure.
You never know what you will find when you organize!
An organized workplace is just as important as an organized home. It will simplify your life. It will allow you to complete tasks thoroughly and with less stress. And...you will be able to find things when you need them!
