New venture begins today

Today I took a big step to make something of all the things Pop and I have that we don't need anymore.  Monday I signed up with a consignment shop.  Today Pop and I took some of the Blue dishes to the shop.  I cleaned them, priced them and let them go. 

For those who are close to me know how hard it is for me to let go of things that belonged to my mother, so this was a really big step. 

A little background history on these dishes.  When I was 5 we lived in upstate New York.  My mom bought these dishes in the grocery store.  She bought enough dishes to complete a service of 20 individual place settings with 9 pieces in each setting.  In addition to that she also bought all the serving pieces 2x over. 
We have been carting these dishes around since 1975.  We only ever sat down to dinner once with them for a Christmas dinner in the mid 1980's. 

Since we have downsized it is time to really let go of stuff.  Pop n I moved to 933 square foot apt and the money will go great for a new TV or trip.  Also  I am going to put some of my craft work and art work out for sale in the future.  The price for the consignment space is affordable so might as well gamble with a good outcome.

Wish us luck.  I will post pictures and keep you updated as we sell something :)

OMG, You have got to be kidding me!!!!

I use a site called Ravelry.com every now and then to keep track of my knitting and crocheting projects.  I lost the password and my email wont accept any from this site.  So per the help chat all I can do is sign up for email I don't use on a regular basis and start all over.  I think that is ridiculous. Sometimes things happen, but I am typing on a machine.  It is not rocket science, have a human send me a real email and the info will get pushed thru.  If not what is the point of having a sight that has you stored info and patterns as well as personal pictures and it is just lost to cyberspace?  That is my anti technology point.  I am so mad and frustrated.  I have been at this for about an hour and a half and all I am doing is getting more frustrated by the minute.  It makes me not want to use the site at all.  If my info is lost,  all I can do is hope that I was smart enough to have paper, YES I SAID PAPER, copies of my patterns somewhere and just move on.  Ravelry was this great thing I discovered 2 years ago that was gonna help me cut back on clutter and make it easy for me to store patterns.  Well look where I am now.  It is coming upon the holiday and I wanted to work on a project and now I can't access the pattern because I have to start all over again.  Happy freaking holiday to me.
