Having a Hard Time - Getting Rid of Stuff
I feel like I have not even made a dent in all of the packing for FL. It does not look like anything is different. I through out at least 20 contractor bags of clothes, etc. It is all the chatkas - I have so many and I like all of them. I don't want any of them broken either. I am panic stricken. Also, where are they all going to fit in Florida. I have no China closets. I do not know what to do. I am going to start to pack my very favorites first. The ones I can visualize a home for. I don't have the time for a sale. This is the ramifications of being a collector. Ok - this is what I keep saying to myself: Only take my memories with me! Out with the old in with the new! I will have forgotten all about them in a few months. It is only material things, not worth having a heart attack over. Everything can be replaced, but I cannot be replaced. Easy Does It and Keep it Simple! Ok - Now Believe It! Back to sorting, throwing and packing. OY Veys Meir! Luv,Ree

moving is rough, can you put them in a consighnment shop? they sell for you and take a cut . look for another collector on ebay and offer them a deal. relax and think of how much less dusting you will have to do... send some to all the neices ... I guess this is all stuff you have already thought of .. or donate to a senior center or a second hand shop that supports battered women and children. at least you know that you are helping someone. I once donated most of my crystal to a church silent auction to send kids to summer camp.
good luck and I know that you will be successful.
I hear you reenee,I agree though keep it simple.If nothing else could you rent a storage place and store your treasures? Moving is a Big task,wish i was there to help.You can do it though ree. hugs xo
