verbminxOMG... you would not BELIEVE what I just did.
i have a double garment rack on here - two bars, one in front and one behind, or whatever way you see it. i got a large canvas hanging garment bag today - the kind that holds several dresses, suits, or coats. I wanted it for my coats, because I have several and want to keep the dust off them, but don't use them more than a few times each year. Plastic drycleaning bags work but they look so cluttery, plus they aren't really good for the clothes.
So the rear bar of the garment rack had my coats on it and I went into that area (which involved moving a chair and squeezing through a small space) and hung up the new garment bag without incident. Since it felt like the front bar was weightier and going to pull down the rest of the rack, I was walking around to the front to move some of the things that were hanging there, when...
CRASH!
I somehow knocked the WHOLE THING forward. CLOTHES EVERYWHERE. Plus, they're almost all black. You wouldn't believe the wreck unless you saw it, and sadly, instead of taking pictures, I started cleaning it up right away. The momster and I could not even right the thing until we removed the 3/4 full shoe bag from the front bar! Now I have a dryerful of dusty fallen garments! and a much lighter rack. I suppose I should start putting this crap where it belongs, rather than just heaping it onto my clothing rack....

Personally, I want more gridwall & other fancy store-type displays... just cover the whole house in clothes. Nobody seems to share my enthusiasm, though, & I have no money. ::pouts::

Date: 2002-11-28 12:17 pm (UTC)part of this collapse was caused by me not putting away my knits when they came back from the dry cleaner... you know, like pashmina twin sets, that kind of thing, that should be folded and not hung up.
but the greater issue is the fact that i just never ever get rid of much of anything.
