Hello again! I have an idea that I hope to turn into an opportunity, but I'll need your help with that!
First of all, We are MOVING! Yes, we're moving to Valley, Alabama in January. We live in Tallassee now, and we were living here, because it was half way between my work and Scott's work. With me not working now, it seems crazy for Scott to drive this whole way home. Also, we will be moving twenty minutes away from Izzy and Evan (Scott's Kiddo's), so making it to ball games and practices will be so much easier when we live only minutes away.
Those are the good things about the move. The Bad? Well, we're EXTREMELY downsizing and moving into a smaller place, so that we can save a little extra money to build a house in the future and pay off my existing and future medical bills (MRI's are EXPENSIVE)! Needless to say, we are going to be getting rid of a LOT of things that we have in our house now.
When we got married, we held on to what we both had before, and we combined that with our new wedding gifts... which means multiples like 4 crockpots, 3 camera cases, an extra king size mattress and box springs, end tables, decorations, etc. We have WAY too much stuff where we are now, much less where we are moving to.
Where you come in: We are planning on having a yard sale, but I'm having a little difficulty with this. I'm going to be getting rid of a lot of things that I've held on to, because they are important to me or just because they are just plain nice. And when you're cleaning out your home, it's hard to part with items that you like when you imagine random hagglers dumping it in their house. It's not junk to me. And it's too cold to have a yard sale right now anyway.
So here's the plan: Anyone who is interested in anything is more than welcome to come to our house and go through the stuff we are getting rid of. Yard sale prices still apply, but I will feel a LOT better if I know that someone I know is going to actually appreciate what they're getting, AND I'm much more likely to get rid of a LOT more if someone is in front of me actually wanting it.
I'm also "DE-STASHING" my craft room as well, so all you crafters come on over!!
Here is an idea of the stuff we have for sale:
A Parker Challenger Compound Bow, BRAND NEW arrows and arrowheads (still in box), MANY accessories, hard case uncluded, used twice! (Paid over $425)

MUCH MUCH MORE
The options are endess... We literally have bins and bins of clothes to get rid of, mostly mine. If anyone wants to just take a day to ride out (It's 30 minutes from Montgomery) and look, you're more than welcome to. I'm home almost every day, and I won't hover over your shoulder! I'm sure that if you found something you liked, I'd be much more willing to part with it if you were here than if it was online. I love my stuff... but it's time to move on and start fresh!!
Just send me a message!!
I love combining old techniques with a new twist to make random unique designs. My projects often include many areas, such as Wire Wrapping, Polymer Clay, DIY, Painting, Thrifty Projects, Upcycling Items, Reinventing Jewelry, and anything handmade! I use this blog to share my ideas, learning frustrations and crazy adventures of running my Home Based Jewelry and Craft Boutique! Welcome to my comfort zone!
