Default Re: Flea Markets

I am a collector. Items I collect do not have to be valuable - I just like them. First collection was Avon Bottles. Still have boxes of them.

When I asked our local auctioneer to come in, someone who I trust, I gave him the paintings, china items and glassware I liked the most. Felt if I could part with these, rest would be easier. Not necessarily so.

In TV, a request has been made by the non-collector, who shall remain nameless, that I not bring any of my collections to TV nor do I start another collection. So I need to know where is the closest flea market/garage sale/yard sale. Just kidding?

I can bring some art work, items we have purchased from our travels and I am not to sure what else. We will have another fund raiser yard sale, perhaps two, no three I guess 5 more sales to somewhat empty this home.

This in a way is one of the harder parts of setting up a new home and also one of the better things - forces me to make decisions and let go of materialistic items.
