I'm pretty sure most of my friends would not consider taking something from the curb but I am happy that our town does this. Hopefully people will slowly begin to enjoy reusing and repurposing what others are done with. Thank you Debbie.<br /><br />and my Indian reader / friend, You will feel a weight lift if you only keep what you need or love and sell the rest but I know in your case, there are just so many beautiful things to love!

I wonder how do I have a house so full of wonderful things that they lie under big piles of beautiful things making it very difficult to use them.<br />I am planning an estate sale, this can't be a garage sale. I have so many things to get rid of that i can't possibly bring them all out.<br />I would love your input to see if i can do it in an efficient way. And let me know if you would like to take something. I think I have the perfect end table for your wonderful chair.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11045217021919624663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5106666004389287187.post-79210228927113848372012-04-19T21:05:04.284-05:002012-04-19T21:05:04.284-05:00When we lived in Germany those nine years we got t...When we lived in Germany those nine years we got to enjoy a day like this 4 Xs a year!! Some of the missionaries shamelessly walked (small town) the streets in search of gold before dark, but others of us were too embarressed to be seen in the light of day, so went out with flashlights after dark. You have to understand that the Germans thought only the Turks and Romas should be caught doing this! <br />I had no idea any place in the US offered this wonderful opportunity to upgrade household items. How blessed you are Kelly! :-)Debbie Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5106666004389287187.post-75165733818517890502012-04-19T08:40:23.645-05:002012-04-19T08:40:23.645-05:00Eclectic Americana (love your kids) puts the best ...Eclectic Americana (love your kids) puts the best spin on this style!

We had no money and people would give us stuff... then people would give us other stuff that we liked better than the originals and it just kept moving on. Eventually, even when we might have been able to afford buying something new, we liked the idea of only pre-owned. Now we only buy new if we can't possibly find something used (like our bookshelves). Happy Hunting! And remember, at first it isn't always perfect, but eventually you "upgrade".Simple Sanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567547048310310691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5106666004389287187.post-38639309968644190142012-04-19T07:28:18.680-05:002012-04-19T07:28:18.680-05:00You are an inspiration and I am going to do some g...You are an inspiration and I am going to do some google searches today for garage sales to start finding my treasures too! I love it! Josh and Leanne need a kitchen table and TV for their new apartment but don't have the money to buy a new one, maybe I'll get lucky or blessed on my treasure hunt. Nonetheless Kelly you are my treasure hero forever! :)Val Stayskalhttp://wwwlifeisahighway.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
