Willow Manor Spring Purge

Have nothing in your house
that you do not know to be useful,
or believe to be beautiful.

~William Morris~

We often had yard sales at the manor in the spring, before the heat

and humidity of summer. Spring was a great time of year to have

one, after all the sorting and cleaning of the household closets,

dresser drawers, and kitchen clutter. The event was always a lot of

fun, as well, chatting with dozens of local folk who followed the signs

down to our little manor. Well, to make a long story short, I haven't

had a yard sale in years. It just seemed like too much work to put

one together. Is this my old age speaking? I do, however, have tons

of stuff desperately needing to be purged! Susan over at

29 Blackstreet has been in what she delightfully calls purgapalooza

mode and she has inspired me to do the same. I started today with

my closet and will gradually make my way through the house. For

the very first time, I've listed some items on eBay, starting with a

few handbags and on to other great junk that needs to be weeded

out. So, do keep an eye on my eBay listings. You can click on the

photo on my sidebar to take a peek. I'll be adding new stuff every

day or so during my Willow Manor Spring Purge.
