I came across this tale of a woman who just couldn’t stop buying things via one of my favorite blogs, Yard Sale Bloodbath (yes, it is as good as it sounds). The hoarding woman went on Oprah, who helped her organize her belongings and sell the rest. The shot above is from the mammoth yardsale they had afterwards, where they made $13,000. The story of what they found under the piles of stuff is horrifying (in two words: black mold)!

Wow! I loved that show! I thought I was bad in the stuff department. But this women definetly has me beat. I didn’t think it was possible to purchase that much stuff in such a short period of time. I am so glad she got help. Lets just hope she can stay clutter free since this whole intervention.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, crazy clutter freaks can take things a little too far. I hit one sale that the woman would purchased every color of everything she liked and the house was overflowing.
