BYE-BYE.....

Thought you might like to help me wave Goodbye to more Antiques and collectables.... sometimes a person, ( ME) can just have too much stuff. Especially when I enjoy finding something new a redoing it....somewhere along the line I must turn it over...So with another sale this weekend I said farwell to this end table, (not the watering can!) even I have my principals!!!Ha! A lovely lady purchased it for her daughters bedroom...she loved it which made me happy...

My antique "Universal Electric" stove...with 4 burners that WORK and a warming oven....So cute....it weighed a ton! bye-bye...I've enjoyed you for 20 some years, now you will make someone else smile...
The antique wicker High chair...will make some sweet baby happy...


It is amazing what you can let go when you set your mind to it....now if I can just let go of this@#$%^&*(*&^%$# kidney stone!!!! Happy Holiday, xoxo~Kathy.

  2. Someone got some really gorgeous treasures. I have a hard time letting go of any of my antiques. Maybe someday. I just give whatever I don't have room for to my DIL. I can't wait to see what new you get. Hope you're better soon. Hugs, Marty

  7. It must be hard to say goodbye to your things! I know it would be for me - although I find I am most ruthless when it is moving time. I reach a point where I simply can't take everything with me!

    I hope you feel better soon! That kidney stone business is not fun.

  11. You are right those treasures that was once yours will become treasures for someone else...and so the passing of treasures will continue.

  12. Oooh, I love that stove! I'm glad you are taking the move and the letting go all in stride.

    I'm so sorry you are going through the pain of a kidney stone on top of all this other stuff. Wishing you health!

  14. I'm sniffling just watching your beautiful things go bye-bye! I have a hard time letting go of things myself. I am sure your treasures will make the new owners very happy, though.

    Love your fall header photo, BTW.

  15. Kathy- Being a sentimental 'stuff' person this makes me sad. But it does feel SO good to get rid of 'stuff', especially when you're moving so congrats. LOVE that wicker high chair and the stove!

  16. Kathy, I do not know how in the world you could watch them drive away with the stove. OMG that is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I am afraid I would still be sitting at the driveway crying, even with the move, I just don't think I could have let it go. I had so prayed that your darn kidney stone would move on and give you some peace. I pray that it will move soon. I have had them so I know what you are feeling. It was so painful to pass it, but once I did oh my gosh I felt like a million bucks for sure. I will keep you in my prayers. When is the move taking place? Take care of yourself my friend. Country hugs, Sherry

  17. I understand how hard it is...I am a terrible pack rat. It is so difficult to part with things..I must admit I am getting better.

    Wish I lived nearby! :)

  18. Kathy~

    I think I know how difficult it must have been to make the decisions of letting go of your precious treasures....I would have bought the highchair for my grandbabies and the oven for childhood memories.

    I wish you luck with your kidney stones, someone as kind and gentle as you shouldn't have to suffer~~
