Recap 2018 part 3

By October I realized that if I wanted to make a HUGE dent in my Dad's stuff I needed an outlet, somewhere where they would take a large variety of items....

I found those lovely people on Facebook and they have a second hand store in my new neighborhood.

They were a total godsend! and right now my priority is getting rid of stuff and making a bit of money and it makes them happy and I am happy so everybody is happy!

Here are some of the things they took

 So much copper! Yes there is a market for it but people like to pay $1 soon

I was happy to see it go.

 Pewter was my Mom's fave. I kept a couple of pieces

bit I was singing a song when it left....

 More copper....aaarrrggghhh!

 Brass anyone? The glassware I still have and I just might keep

the celery glasses because they make great vases.

 They did not want the duck family at first but they took them!

Woohoo! I could not stand these guys....

I kept an antique Chinese one for Peking duck

 Yes I sold this one but in the classifieds and well below market price.

I am against Pyrex that is so expensive so need to second mortgage your house!

I bought this one in early 2018 for a really good price and I made a profit while

making a husband really happy to find a great gift for his wife for Xmas!

Is that a win win??? YYYEEESSSSSSS!

I French those chairs are called Burgers and I've seen them all my life.

I have a picture of Dad holding me on my first Xmas and he is sitting in one of those.

well they were from the early 1900's and would have benefited from a total makeover.

They were ripped up by claws...kinda scratchy and smelly so out they went....

sigh....

and then I fell in love! Every Thursday night I would check the duplexes for sale....

and it was always the same listings....crappy buildings....weird renos....a new trend is totally opening

the space even the bedroom.....NO just NO!

 I saw it on Friday night, I left a message to the realtor. He called me back on Saturday

On Sunday we visited, we made an offer and it was accepted all in the same weekend!

 I dream of that kitchen at night...heated floors ...what???

It is so square....and plumb and white and shiny.

 I love the floors....

I have a basement, I have a basement lol

that is so exciting to me.....

Thanks for bearing with me! I was sure by January 5th I would've posted my resolutions...

I still haven't been to Vegas!

That is for another day

Be well my friends

Ages I tell you!

what can I say? I last posted in October!!!

To tell you the truth we have been quite busy here.....

We have bought a duplex and will be moving in 2019. We are now running around and purging like mad to sell the present house....

 This will be my new kitchen.....

 And this is the family room....

I have so much stuff to get rid of that if I could I would 

just open up a booth in a flea market and stick everything in there...

but this is Montreal and we don't really have that.

 I was lucky enough to find a great lady who runs a second hand store and 

let's just say we help each other.

I sell cheap and she buys....

 You know what? I don't like copper, brass and pewter

I have come to hate it and I was really glad

when she left with it!

and yes I am taking all my Pyrex with me.....lol

Next post? my trip to Vegas!!!
