EBay, Collectors, Flea Market & Antiques

I started collecting before I was 10. When I got married, my husband got interested too. After 45+ years, there is a lot of stuff to downsize. The last few years we were buying, we bought several large lots, just to get a few things we wanted. We'd sell things to pay for the lot, so basically everything I don't want is paid for. We donated usable, clean items to either benefit sales or to places that help the homeless or others in need. When I was sorting, I set boxes of stuff out in front of the house for free.

While I was sorting the last few years, I kept things people gave us, or had belonged to my husband, or were pre-1920. Everything else is headed for the booth. So I will probably dust, tidy and rotate.
