Wow, thanks for all the input. The people at the sale were so nice and gave me a better deal than I could ever imagine for the plants, and all the pots. I posted a thread on the Garden Junk forum, with photos of the rest of the pots and other goodies I bought there. Haven't posted photos of the plants that are left to repot (more than 20), a some which I've never seen before. Linda Pic #1 Pot 7" tall. Trunk 4" tall. Soil to leaf tip 9" tall.

Luvs, I'm not sure how long he'll be with me, he's 11. He will be here indefinitely as far as I can see. It's a long story, rather not post it here for public to see, but my son isn't the problem, the mother of my grandson is. So, just let me say, he is SAFER with me! I adore him, I've watched him since he was 3 weeks old, so not really much different around here except now I get up early everyday! UGH, I'm a NIGHT PERSON, but will do anything for him. Luvs, yes I decided to put out a few fall things, my kitchen & diningroom are still the rooster theme for now, I probably won't do them fall til October, since I got my last rooster a short time ago & like looking at him on my kitchen counter. We have fall all the way til we start xmas decorating, so not rushing it in my kitchen & DR yet.Besides I just may find some more goodies before then! LOL Karen, sounds like you always do great at GW, I would be there too if we didn't have such good yard sales. I did hit them a few times last winter, will probably again this winter. We never had one in our area til last year and it's in a big new building with lots of room, so maybe that will be my hunting grounds for the winter. Forgot to take pics of last weeks tablecloths I got for .50 each. One is fall colors in large checks, one is pink, red & white for Valentines, one is more neutral colors & can't even remember the 4th one, but all great condition for .50 each. I'll probably use them on the table so you'll see them eventually! Still looking for more cloth napkins in all colors. I also picked up some napkin holders, but can't remember bringing them in the house, so have to see if they are in a bag of things I missed Saturday! Hmmm, now I'm wondering where the heck they went to. Too late to go looking now, will look tomorrow!

With those gloves & pretty feathers & doilies & charms, you may have to make something under glass. OHHHH so many nice pretties!! You will have a ball! Jan

Thanks, Pesky but I don't want a bunch of random strangers running around my house. It worked for your Mom because the lady wasn't going to be there again and everything was being sold so it didn't matter. Items being sold from my house will be outside in the yard or Ebayed. Primarily the family is splitting things up so as much as possible remains within the family, as per Mama's wishes. She had nice pieces. Not really my taste but some pieces can be easily incorporated. I got the rug (not a word was said about it when DH said he wanted it). We won one painting that DH wanted but we have decided on a rotating art exchange, so even the paintings he didn't get will show up again. Plus there are plenty left to hopefully share with grands. Dad's paintings are his legacy. There is so much glass no one is really interested in. China? No thanks. We have our own sets that we don't use and who needs more? There is a crystal perfume bottle like hers on EBay for $99., Buy It Now. It hasn't sold and who knows how many times it has been listed. SIL and I stayed out of the fray completely and let the boys flip coins for things more than one wanted. After the siblings got what they wanted, we invited SIL to pick what she wanted from what was left. BIL and SIL are going home with a truck load this morning. I know this was a great family and SIL isn't a snake. She is a self confessed control freak who showed tremendous restraint this weekend. If she can't control everything but can respect the process, she seems good. I think the process we used worked. I'm learning more about who SIL is ( in her heart) and how to work with her. My own challenge is to work us through the initial bulldozing of any given situation without feeling flattened. This IS a wonderful family. On to deal with her annuity and a small life insurance claim. The house is bound by a two year lease. Houses in her area are going into bidding wars right now. We discussed the possibility of buying the tenants out of the lease and listing it for sale while the market is hot - AND before the next bubble bursts. I think we need to trust it will all work out the way it is supposed to work out. We don't need to decide that right now. We do need to follow the market down there and look toward a paint job to freshen up the outside.
