Thank you for all the sweet comments on Friday’s post. What a lovely supportive bunch of bloggers you are. My weekend of planning went rather well and I’m feeling really positive about what the future may hold. I have set myself some deadlines, some challenges and a few tasks so the next few months promise to be nice and busy. My plan for knitting Christmas presents is providing the ideal opportunity to try out some new ideas too and they’re coming along rather nicely. I’ll post some pictures in a few weeks when I have a good collection together.
All in all the weekend was pretty busy. I sorted out a lot of stuff. A LOT. My wardrobe was given a good clearout, as were my drawers, jewellery box and shoe collection. Even my basket of fabric was cleared out. Some pretty cool vintage costume jewellery I’ve collected was sold to my favourite store in the world, Sassy & Boo, this morning and I’ve made about twice what I hoped which is completely amazing. If you’re ever in Bath, this shop is a must. The lady who owns it is awesome and the stock is unbeatable. There’s also a mass of stuff on eBay so fingers crossed I’ll make a bit more cash. I’m certainly loving all the extra space I’ve created. If you’re interested in taking a look please do. I ship worldwide and would love for my favourite bits to go to a good home.
Especially this amazing bag. It’s a piece of art. It dates from the 1920s and is in such amazingly perfect condition. I bought it for a tidy sum a couple of years ago, but it’s been wrapped in tissue paper for too long and needs to belong to a lady who’ll take it out on the town. It’s kinda breaking my heart to let it go, but there are more important things for me to consider at the moment than fancy clutch bags. So I’m making the sacrifice. Au Revoir beautiful friend.
Having a clear out always makes me feel so free!
ReplyDeleteA special goodbye to your gorgeous clutch ... I am sure she will make another special lady very very happy!
Yay for a good old clear out! I need to do the same. ps: I'm so jealous of your knitting skills!
ReplyDeleteI've been having a lovely big clean out too. I seem to accumulate a lot during the year... Makes me feel lighter whent here is less stuff cluttering my house. Good luck with the sales!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a gorgeous bag!
ReplyDeleteI love a good clean out. It's good for the soul I think. I'll check out your ebay listings now! x
ReplyDeletewell done on the clean out lady! Plus bringing in some extra cash is always a plus - love your vintage shoes on Ebay but sadly they won't fit. starting off the week with a clean slate and new focus - love it!
ReplyDeleteWell done you! I've been cleaning out our cupboards too, I tend to get very sentimental about clothes, so it was hard to be tough and actually bag up stuff to take to the op shops.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the clean out! I so need to do the same. You've inspired me! Heading on over to check out your things. This bag is LOVELY :)
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good "spring" cleaning. Works any time of year!!
ReplyDeleteI'm off to check out your ebay now! :)
moment of silence for the beautiful bag :(
ReplyDeleteI have just done the same thing cleared out all my vintage shoes, bags clothes, belts for a market I am going to next weekend. Happy to her you made some extra $$$ I feel the same about parting with some of my treasures but my need to de-clutter was greater! Love the coral beeds x
ReplyDeletewow, i really really need to sort through my stuff as well. You are inspiring me! I think I will have a go at it this weekend. It's such a great feeling! Looking forward to pictures of your knitting projects too! :)
