Maybe you've noticed that I've been missing for awhile, maybe not. Here's the shortest explanation, and promise I won't mind if you skip it and get back to your own life.
My life went kinda sideways about last December for many reasons, and the end result is that I'm separating from my husband. It's possibly the most amicable divorce ever, but it's been still stressful. I'm in the process of downsizing my belongings, probably going from a 3 bedroom house to an 1 bedroom apartment.
Somewhere in the sorting process I came across the concept of minimalism. I'll never be one of those "100-possessions only mimimalists", but I could really do with a lot less. Not to mention that selling all my extra stuff could make a difference in the quality of my new life. (Or fund a trip to comic con)
The local consignment shop is already tired of seeing me, I've taken them 3 carloads of clothes. I have 3 weeks before my major purging event - YARDSALE 2011.
But then there are things that I don't think I could sell, and I'm not sure where to donate them, or even why I have them. So from time to time I might post things on here that are up for grabs.
Today it's postcards / and random pictures of flowers. 76 postcards from places I've visited or lived, and probably twice that many pictures of flowers, landscape or puppies.
Any takers? Just PM me with your address.
PS. There are a couple of you I still owe holiday cards to, which I did find in my card file. How do you feel about Christmas in May/June? And Gloria - I found the box of material! Would your mom want any extra material I have on hand?
