I was always amazed how 25cent and 50cent things would keep adding up. I had a neighbor who asked where all this stuff came from, and did I have another house somewhere?!!<br />You had great things, hope you made lots of money (sorry about the camera.)

I love those chairs!!!<br /><br />Don't you just hate<br />"shoplifters"! At a recent networking luncheon, with 50+ "professional" women, I had items lifted from my display table...a bag of samples and a travel-sized pack of natural health products. ($40 in products!)

Big things left over from the remodel will go on Craig's list next week, and we'll spend the winter going through everything else for a big garage sale in the spring. We have too much junk! <br /><br />That is an AMAZING barn!!! I agree with others that you should keep for future grandchildren. Or I like the idea of donating it to a women's/children's shelter, but it seems too beautiful to part with. And I would have snapped that saddle up in a minute (except for that small detail about I have a horse that I never get to ride)!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02294936305289956412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48770848156382427.post-89306269196526547532009-10-11T11:59:50.913-04:002009-10-11T11:59:50.913-04:00wow...what great treasures you had for sale..i wou...wow...what great treasures you had for sale..i would have happily shopped if i was closer (i especially love the floral chair!) how dissappointing, indeed, to have someone stealing!! i am appalled. hope to see more pics from your vacation?erin's art and gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808723849785207747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48770848156382427.post-72280735800951154032009-10-11T11:46:38.397-04:002009-10-11T11:46:38.397-04:00Ooh, I'd get an artist to paint that barn in w...Ooh, I'd get an artist to paint that barn in weathered, sandy colours and use it for a nativity scene at Christmas.
