Carolyn, what a big job you have had, just sorting thru what to keep and what to discard. My daughter is just starting step one. Wishing you lots of happiness in your new home. Pam
Oh, my. The mere thought of it has to be nearly overwhelming, but I'm hoping it's less overwhelming than when you begin. I would sooooo be there if I were closer. My Sweet Teen and I have spent over a year looking for a pre-electronic Battleship game. (Just don't get how manufacturers think they improve things just by jumping on the interactive technology bandwagon!) May your sale go well and may the things you are parting with truly bless their recipients.
Oh my goodness me...you have been busy! Now, if I lived down the lane so that I might attend...but alas, this is not so. **sniff, sniff** Wishing you a splendid sale! Happy hugs from here... Judy xo
Oh wow! Is this a 'selfportret'? Haha. I will by a ticket and you will see mee Saturday. I take a empty case with me!! Dreams... I hope you will sell a lot. Many successes!!! Hugs from me.
Oh my....I my heart started beating fast when seeing all that work! We are considering a move also...and just looking around my house stifles me, and we've only been here for 18 years. Best of luck with your 'Three Whats' :)
Oh Carolyn, wish I lived closer and could browse!! Looks like some real treasures!! Blessings on your garage sale and move!! Been thinking of you!!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why I'm trying to sort out and get rid of things now! Good luck with your sale! :0)
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness. You have had a big job sorting through your things...
ReplyDeletewish I lived closer as there seems to be some nice treasures there......

Your drawing is just too cute. It's amazing what we collect. Your sale should bring lots of eager buyers. Good luck!
