Hi Rose,
I've had similar experiences collecting random things, yet on a smaller scale. I recently starting the process of removing clutter and keeping things tidy in general.
What has helped me is to realize that if I need something, the universe will provide it for me. This means I can get rid of the extra dishes I don't use, the clothes I don't wear, and the magazines I don't read. If I really end up needing extra dishes, more clothes, or the information in those magazine articles, I will end up finding them again in my world and they will be more suited to who I am now.
Also, I love the idea that someone else who really wants or needs these items will get them when I give them away to charity.
Hope this helps!
