These early sales are fun

Tables are filling up, the Declutter Project is on a roll

It helps pay for the advertising for the Huge Indoor Attic cleaning sale!! Just put an ad in the area newspaper and on the cable channel. The sale is for three days. Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

The real progress is bringing stuff downstairs and starting to stack the tables.

There are some pretty cool cross stitch and sampler pictures, one is dated 1934. The one on the back of the table to the right is the Lords Prayer and vintage. There is a beautiful Millennium Nativity (new) in the blue boxes. and some Hallmark bells for 2007/2008 new in boxes too. On ledge is 30 cross-stitched quilt block and some vintage linens including a child's gingham apron.

It is interesting what dollar value can be found with a little research. I found a 3.4 oz full bottle of Gio by Giorgio Armani. Checked it out on eBay and it's selling for $90 to $100 a bottle!! Hmm, I know I won't get that much for it but I'm sure I'll get more than originally planned I'm putting $45 on it.





Finally brought the boxes of books down. There is a boxed set of Home Repair Encyclopedias by Time-Life and a boxed set of Gardening books by Time-life too and some wonderful plant and garden books.


Oh and did I say I had Christmas village houses and accessories? How about this Lemax Sugar n' Spice house. You know even one would make a great display. I guess there are about 25-30 more houses. :o)

I am so excited this is exactly the kind of sale I'd love to go to!! I welcome emails: danse@media-net.net or calls 785 483 6300 if there are any questions.

Now back upstairs only 8 more tables and the floor to stack!! Wanna help? I can use all the help I can get *lol*

Okay, I admit I lost something in the mess

Losing things in plain sight

I am one of those people who can lose something in the middle of a mess and not see it-even if it's right under my nose. Clutter absolutely boggles my thought processes. So you can imagine what it's like to lose something in the middle of a big cluttered, messy, no end in sight piles of junque!

This morning I lost something extremely important and if I don't find it I may not survive this big indoor attic cleaning sale. I can't quite remember where I was at when I realized it was missing but I believe it was in one of the boxes I was sorting through yesterday.



It could have been back under the eaves where I cracked my head on a beam yesterday. I know my entire family is wishing I could find it because they know how rattled I get when I lose something important. I can wander around for days in a confused fog.


*Sigh* I'm going back up to look again and try to be patient and retrace my steps so I can find it and get back to work.

What did I lose?
My sense of humor!!! Did you see it laying around anywhere? :o)

Oh ouch, banged my head on the attic rafter

When I bang my head, the price goes up

It is amazing just how much cool stuff is in the attic that probably hasn't been looked at for a few years. Right now I am sorting "like" things into separate areas and I have some plastic bins I'm putting things in that I may keep or at least have a second look at. Parting is such sweet sorrow. Then you have to deal with memories!

For example I found four Vintage Wizard of Oz mechanical display dolls that have never been used. They were originally sold for $185 per unit, wonder how much I should ask for them?






Also found a beautiful Hallmark tree topper from a few years ago, never out of the box. Original price was $49 and I'm thinking $10 might make it interesting to buyers.

It is kind of exciting to see some of the fun stuff I've accumulated - as long as I don't think about how much is invested in it in the first place *lol*
