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.
