After we retired, picked up the pace lol My dear husband passed away in 2017, and during Covid, I had a lot of time to make decisions. The stuff in the cupboards are heirlooms, gifts, things we bought because we liked them. I've sold 3 or 4 big lots to local dealers. auctioneers, had yard sales, and made donations. In 2022, I opened a vintage booth. I'm going to close it in March. I sold a lot, but all good things must end.

Have fun maintaining balance
