Day Two Giveaway.....

Today the packing continued apace.... Along with packing comes more purging - many books went to the Charity Book Bin (man, were the books heavy), paint cans and solvents went to the paint recycle depot, boxes of household items went to the Salvation Army. Because we wanted the house to be welcoming and warm over the holidays, we left all the packing until this week - and with moving in the middle of the month, we really don't have time for a garage sale....so...other than large items which have been sold on craigslist, we are giving most items away.

We also went to visit our new apartment to take measurements so we can determine what we want to take with us. The apartment seems smaller than I remember it...but we will play around with the floor plan and furniture templates tomorrow to make some final decisions.

Now for my Day Two Giveaway......I thought someone might like this wire basket...... I used it in many different ways over the years: filled with ornaments at Christmas or filled with fruit - and - for the last few years - filled with old photos. The basket sat on the piano ready for anyone to look at the photos.....

If you would like this basket, leave a comment and if you are the chosen one, I will mail you the basket - no charge to you. This giveaway is just a crazy project - to find homes for the things that we have enjoyed and loved in our home. The deadline for this item is Sunday, January the 9th..... More crazy things are coming up this week - check back to see if you want any of our stuff!
