Today's Housecleaning Mystery

How is it that I have managed to acquire several dozen small decorative soap-cakes without ever having actually purchased any of them? I hardly ever use cake soap (preferring the liquid type). This is a bad combination. Fortunately, most of them are still in the original packaging, making it easier to get rid of them in a useful manner.
Since the weather forecast for the weekend involves a delightful amount of rain, I think I may tackle the first round of sifting through the kitchen equipment. This will almost certainly be followed by a list of odd equipment and appliances looking for good homes. (If I haven't used the several-dozen-piece cake decorating kit since the day I picked it up at a garage sale 25 years ago, I'm unlikely to start using it now.)

I do like body wash myself, but I do keep one bar of soap on hand for things like soaping wooden pieces when building a tongue-and-groove item. It lubricates the wood just enough to slide easily, when applied dry.
