Table top sale

its early Saturday morning and I'm about to throw open my doors to welcome strangers into my home for a craft table top sale.

Ive been a crafter for over 15 years, I've amassed a huge about of stuff and as part of the process of getting ready to live in a van I have to get rid of it all.  Well not all of it.  I'm keeping a few things for myself but I'm limiting it to a very small amount.

I have spent a small fortune on what I have and I'll be selling it for silly money today, but I know I will never use it all in my lifetime and I'd much rather somebody who would use it took it.

My dining room and kitchen are covered in it all.  What doesn't sell I'll be sticking into Facebook and eBay and hoping it can find new homes via those channels.

I've a pile of business books that I am going to be selling, is so disheartening though as some of these books I paid over £30 for and best offer I can get is 20p.  Still it's 20p better in my pocket I suppose.

Outside of house is now all painted, with the proceeds from today I'll be visiting the garden centre to buy some plants to make the front garden look pretty.  Estate agent and home report are booked in.  Fingers crossed that the house is on the market by the end of the month.

I'll post again after the sale and record how it went, and when I finally figure out how to post pics I'll share the pics of all my stash that is going.

No turning back

after lots of faffing the house is finally on the market.  The estate agent kept changing his appointment time but I finally got him here the same day as the surveyor for the home report.  They both said lovely things about the house, which filled me full of pride.  I do love this house and whilst everyone who visits says it feels homely, it's never really felt like my home. So I don't feel to attached to it. I've been on holiday this week. And in the spirit of adventure I've adopted I have spent the week learning to sail.  I've learnt how to harness the wind in pretty much every direction.  I can tack and gybe and I can set up and dismantle a boat.  Pretty impressive.  What we set out to learn was the equivalent of the RYA level 1, however we managed level 1 and 2.  Whilst I'm still lacking in confidence I can happily report that I didn't capsize at all.  I'll continue going to the sailing club whilst I'm here and hopefully build on what I...

Show home ready!

Well the table top sale didn't go as planned, only two people turned up on the Saturday, so I extended it for a few days.  I also posted some stuff on a Facebook group for selling scrapbook stuff and managed to get rid of some of it.  Not lots but it's made a small dent. Only problem was it was all over my dining room and kitchen.  I've spent this weekend getting the house back to normal and looking show home ready as the estate agent is here on Tuesday to take pictures. All I've got left to do is run around with the Hoover and clean a few remaining Windows, which I plan to do tomorrow after work. I've another pile of bin bags to take to the charity shop and think I've broken my shredder with clearing out old paperwork.  If it's broke I'll have to resort to having a little fire on the BBQ to get rid of the rest of it, but seeing as it's quite chilly at the moment it sounds like a nice idea. I'm back to been torn about what sort if vehicle...
