Oh, the Stuff, so much Stuff

I am sitting here on a Saturday morning waiting for people to show up to our garage sale. John is sitting outside and I am sitting inside, waiting, waiting, waiting.

While we have downsized several times over the past few years, we still seem to have so much stuff to get rid of this week. With items priced to sell, we wait. Where are the buyers?

After a week of trying to sell a bedroom set to no avail it seems to get harder and harder to sell items. And we are getting closer to our move date. This makes me feel very uneasy.

To occupy myself I got my computer out. As I sit here typing I am thinking about taking some pics of some of the items and posting them on Craigslist.

Perhaps we'll have better luck selling the items there. Although I am not too keen on getting more texts and setting up more appointments with people. But it seems to be working well.

I have to say, I am not my usual garage sale self. We hardly put the signs out this morning and while I advertised it on Craigslist, the start of our garage sale is no where in sight. I think we are all getting tired of dealing with the stuff.

Oh, the stuff! I love a lot of it, but when one is considering a new lifestyle, ours includes moving out of the country, it seems the effort it takes to sell really makes one review their life choices. What was I thinking when I loaded up my car at IKEA?

Afternoon Action Wave

It is late afternoon now and John and I've made a pretty decent dent in our garage sale efforts. Not too long ago we dropped off another donation load to Goodwill. There was some nifty stuff in there that I hope others get to enjoy as much as we did.

I just sold my awesome Amethyst Biomat to a gorgeous red head who is purchasing it for her mom. I am glad the biomat will be put to good use. It was breaking my heart to think those beautiful crystals would be stored in a dark storage unit for a year.

It was hard to see it go. I am a bit emotional right now, it has been such a great helper in my client sessions. My family and I have benefited greatly from it, too. I am glad I got to use it and I hope to buy another one someday soon.

But for now, it is back to packing and clearing out the kitchen. My sister-in-law is here this afternoon. She's helping us pack and store. What a treat to have both my sis and sister-in-law here this week. I am a spoiled girl!

Now how do I get my mom here...
