I'm sure we all get spring clean-out fever-- of course, mine doesn't usually hit until summer when I start seeing all the garage sales and realize...I should have one of these.
If you do decide to have a garage or yard sale then you should read these three articles for preparing for a sale. I found them helpful -- of course, now, I just have to part with a few things :)
So this morning I walked around the house and decided whether some things should stay or go...
 |
| I love these vintage green jars I picked up at Sweet Salvage in Phoenix. The coffee pot -- a must! |
 |
| I love going to the recycle shop and finding something really cool -- like an entire stack of oil paintings, the lilac painting is one of my favorites. The elephants, my husband made when he was twelve years old. How adorable is that :). |
 |
| I thought about getting rid of this old box -- but it is so handy to store all my oils and vinegars. Hmmmm.... |
 |
| I don't know what my deal is -- but I love antique and vintage metal toy trucks. The big one I just picked up at Brimfield at the Tweet Up. Maybe instead of getting rid of mine (which I use for salt and pepper holders) I can just slow my buying down :) |
 |
| This is the top of an old table in my sunroom. Very cool collage of vintage canvas paintings. |
 |
| What do you think? Keep? I mean, they feel like they are part of the family. These sea shell owls watch over the living room. |
 |
| An old box with the word FARM -- I can't get rid of this! |
 |
| Vintage jewelry, handmade artisan jewelry from friends, gifts from my husband -- is it worth keeping --I think so! |
 |
| Sometimes I get rid of things and then later go -- darn -- I should have kept that. I'm thinking these are two of those items. |
 |
| A vase from a Venice, Italy flea market, rocks my nieces found on the beach and a large pottery vase from a friend while she was styling my house for Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. All great memories. I think they'll stay. |
 |
How cute are these daisy glasses? Bought them at two different locations--antique shop and second hand shop.
Okay, maybe next year... :) But I'm happy to stop by yours and pick up a few cool things.
My Best,
Joanne
