8. I'm downsizing stuff I don't want

I'm not moving, unless I find an isolated house. If I ever move, I'll take what I want to keep, and have the rest sold. My husband and I collected for over 40 years, and I collected from when I was about 8. The last few years before he got sick, we bought several large lots. We thought we were getting bargains, but it was the beginning of the downsize era, so we ended up with a lot of stuff, some hard to sell. I got to sort during the Covid lockdown, and sold 3 or 4 big lots, and still have way more of things to send along. I've also donated to several places, and put free boxes out on the sidewalk on nice days. Still have a lot to go.

Having the vintage booth gives me a reason to sort and another place to put things. I've joked to my friends that it is storage with benefits. lol
