Great ideas come from there. When you're ready to go for it, then hit the resale shops. And really, is there a hurry? That's also part of the fun of a new place. When moving here and trying to decide if you should bring what you have, I say bring along any piece that makes you happy. It still will when you're at TV!

Thank you Cricket 1!
As I am up to my nostrils packing my wedding china to give to my ex son in law, I needed a little shoring up. I grew tired of the pattern about 25 years ago, but I am getting real possessive of other things and we are downsizing a LOT in this new house.
I know the guys at GoodWill really well now, been visiting them every day for at least three weeks..........
