A Weekend Of Saying Goodbye
This weekend was the last of my sales to let go of the old so that I can
move on to the new. I said goodbye to some old favorites as they were carried
out by their new excited owners. I thought it would be difficult but letting go
is getting a bit easier. Is it the anticipation of the new adventure or
move on to the new. I said goodbye to some old favorites as they were carried

is it just time for a change?
This old ornate table was bought at a picker's auction. It was in rough
shape ,painted brown and you know how I feel about brown. After many
coats of white paint and some scraping here and there, it became one
of the tables I used in my family room.

This reproduction Canadian pine rocker was made for me by a
craftsman from Northern Ontario and was my 24th birthday present
from my ex-husband. When we divorced, I sat in it less and less and
decided it was time for another young woman to enjoy sit in it and rock
away the day in front of a warm fireplace.

I love old suitcases and I have a buyer for these but they are one
of the items I haven't quite decided whether to let go or not. They provide
great storage and make fun side tables in small rooms.

I have until Wednesday to make this decision.
I loved my little birdcage. I used it quite often in photo shots for my
Priscilla Mae hanging sachet pillows. It swung from a chain in my sunroom
and in the summer, I put a climbing plant inside for a splash of
green but no birds ....

too sad to see live animals in cages.
I bought this 50's prom dress at Goodwill. This hung in my bedroom
as a piece of art. The color of the dress is pistachio and looked
smashing along side my soft pink and green rose paintings from
the 20's and 30's.

Maybe the person who bought it will wear it.
It's still in perfect shape.
I loved this little French provincial dresser that was so shabby chic.
It was white and then it was robin egg blue and then I repainted it
back to a soft cream. A young college graduate bought the shabby
dresser for her first apartment.

I was so pleased.
As wonderful bundles of old vintage curtains walked out the door of my studio,
I hoped that the new creators would have as much fun dreaming of all
the ways they could be used. Or my old hammock would rock the new
buyer on a lazy summer day. Or my pistachio porcelain
30's horse lamp would light a favorite novel.

It was a lovely weekend of recycling old dreams for me
and also a weekend of letting go so
that I will have plenty of space to create my new life.
