So, I'll keep this simple. My mom and I are close to losing our house. She's canceled the storage we had to see if it helps and now it's all in here and to say the least... we're running out of living space.

However, I see a lot of these items and I know for a fact you guys would love them. All kinds of sowing/crocheting supplies, painting/oils, statues, decorations, accessories, puzzles... just, a bunch of antique and pretty stuff... So, I'm sorry this is so vague as to what is exactly here but there's literally hundreds of things here. However... you name it, it probably exists in one of these many boxes. Doesn't even have to be KR related mind you. So, I would like to ask you all if there is something you would be interested in and willing to buy, send me a PM and I'll tell you if I have it.

I'll be bringing everything to the end of the month event so it gives people some time to think.

Sorry to hear the news about the house.  I hope things get better.  As for selling stuff... I know this may sound odd, but have you tried contacting estate brokers?

When my dad died, my brother and I had a lot of his stuff and were figuring out how to get rid of it all.  We called a estate broker who specializes in that and was able to grab everything and find a way to sell it to antique dealers, thrift stores, 2nd hand bookstores, and other places for us.  The amount of money we got for some of the stuff wasn't much in comparison to what some of it was worth... but time was more of an issue for us and we were able to get rid of things pretty quickly.

Admittedly, most folks don't get much money or have to share a lot of what they get with the broker... sometimes it makes getting rid of things easier.  It maybe better to get some quick cash (pennies on the dollar) as to try to wait and get the full value of what you are selling.  It all depends on your perspective and which is more important.  Money or time.

Oh I wanted to do the picture thing but we don't have a camera. But, I think my dad has an old one that can hook up to computers, I asked him to look for it. Thanks for mentioning it though.

My mom's working with a broker on some of the more expensive stuff/furniture. Unfortunately he's kind of a jerk but that's another story >_>

This stuff is mostly just things that she thought would be good for me to give to those who'd want it. I'll try getting some pictures up of the statues/decorations when I can ^^

Pictures ^^

This will be growing, found some things to donate to KR as well, thanks for those supporting ^^


-All the polka dotted fabric has been bought already, the rest I'll be honest, I'm not sure what kinds of fabric they are but they were all bought with intentions to be KR clothing, sturdy and light.

At the risk of sounding horribly gay and being made fun of forever, I'm very much interested in crochet supplies.  What have you got?

Okay, you take the yarn
Definitely don't want Jimbobwe's armies to kill me.
...Plus, I have many yarns, and you have few yarns.

Don't think for a minute that The Glorious Armies of Jimbobwe will back down from a fight!  Sonya, assemble the 171st Sock Puppet Militia and bestow upon the enemy a thousand monkey bites!!!

Are you siding with the enemy of Jimbobwe?  You realize that having a 171st Imperial Sock Puppet Militia means I have 170 others!  Mighty Puppets! 

And to show my benevolence, Buttons will only be stricken with 742 Monkey Bites.  The other 258 will go to you.

Let me borrow one of those militias if you would as I am a humble, loyal servant of Jimbobwe. They any good at search and destroy?

I'll get everything straightened out after I get out of school... I wish my mom'd help me measure some of that fabric. So much X.x...
Though, to make my life a smidge easier, I was wondering if I could just bring it all to the end of the month event. Then you guys can help me figure out what kind of fabric it is too so in case you don't want it, I can sell it properly elsewhere.. maybe?

We're all capable of sharing here, right?

No problem sharing the fabric.  We went to Norm's to watch the Eagles lose to the Cards and on the way stopped into a fabric store my wife frequents that was having a huge sale.  She walked out with me carrying (guys are natural beasts of burden, or if watching Ramar of the Jungle, native bearers) about $200 worth of stuff.  OK, $2 was for a new gold and silver cord for Fr. Edwin and she will make him a pair of black trousers, but you get the point.
