Moving Away = Giving Away Fabric and Trim!

Aug 19, 2009 14:42

This isn't much of an update, because I don't have any time, but briefly...

I'm moving to the east coast in six days. Yikes! I'm spending a week with my friend Kimberley in upstate New York, then it's onward to Massachusetts for school. I'll be back for a long weekend in October (the weekend of the 10th), and then for a month and a half in January-February.

The Old Hollywood murder mystery party took place this past Saturday, and while it didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped, and started very late, it was pretty fabulous! Everyone had a great time and the punch was amazing. Thank you SO much to everyone who came and helped out. I eagerly await ideas and input on future murder mysteries (and maybe other in-character parties - shhhh, it's just TOO geeky to call them LARPs - even if that's what they are ;) ). Maybe we'll even manage one in January! I'll be posting pictures soon, and would love it if anyone else who took pictures could send them to me. All feedback would be greatly appreciated, though I might not have a chance to read it just yet. =)

Now, more practically speaking - since I am moving, I have a lot of stuff to get rid of. Housewares, kitchenware, furniture, clothes, vintage clothes, costume pieces, fabric, trim, and yarn. There are also various books, including children's books. Clothes are various sizes, shoes are mostly size 10, fabric varies but includes a lot of synthetics (many quite interesting) and upholstery fabrics - most of my natural fibers I'm keeping, trim is mostly lace of which I have too much and am willing to cut off yardage, and yarn is synthetic and generally wacky or standard acrylic stuff - some would make great weird costumey wigs.

Furniture is: one large square coffee table that opens on both sides of the top and looks like a massive pirate chest (or two put back to back), one pink-and-white-striped wingback armchair that I always intended to reupholster, six black counter-height stools from Ikea, and one darkdark brown counter-height table that makes an AMAZING cutting table - it's quite large but one of the leaves collapses (btw, the surface got scratched up in a fall so it's not in perfect condition; also the legs are currently detached for ease of moving). If anyone's interested in the furniture, I'd really rather sell it than give it away but mostly I just want to get rid of it, so I suppose it depends on how kindly you're feeling toward a poor creature attempting a cross-country move with very little in the way of funds! =D

Let me know if you're interested! My email is ava.trimble@gmail.com. You'd likely need to come by my place in Pasadena, since I have zero time for hauling stuff around, and if you want anything, it's probably going to need to happen by Sunday, as Monday and Tuesday will be pretty frantic. Eep!

moving, giving stuff away, old hollywood
