This is getting freaky.
I’ve started to really LOOK at my stuff. Like the bookshelves in the
living room. Of course there are books there. But also a lot of “Nippes” – the
German (jewish?) word for bric-a-brac, knick-knack, dust-catchers. Since the
huge basket that once housed my magazines was empty, I started using it as a
container for all the stuff I took out of the shelves which didn’t make my heart sing anymore. Lots
of beautiful blue bottles, some quaint figures brought back from Mexico and two
elaborately decorated wine glasses. I at one time adored them and the lovely
accent they made in my eggshell-colored room.
I’ve been dreading the idea of selling this stuff – going online,
offering each separate item, packing and shipping makes me gag. But what if I turned
this into a one-shot event? Where I doll everything up, offer the stuff at a
flea market and then finished. Done. All gone to new homes. There must be a way
to do this up right and enjoy it.
