Hi Celeste; Good to hear from you and you have a new grandson.I sure do hop the worse is behind me with this wrist.I was cooking a pot of peas this afternoon and forgot and picked the pot up with my right hand,and the pain was horrible.I just almost dropped that pot of peas on the floor, but, managed to grab it with the other hand and just spilled a little of them.Will you be taking any pictures of your snow? The ones you posted last time was gorgeous.Congrats on the new grandson. Lisa. Thank you,That might be why I been in so much pain with my wrist, pushing it too hard, maybe.I am right handed and always do everyhting right handed,and have very little strength in the left hand jean

Keep going Talley. Stuff like the hot rollers? Yes, donate if they still work. Full puzzles. yes, yes. I buy puzzles to use the pieces for crafts for my kids. Doesn't matter if they are all there or not. Needed curlers one year for a Halloween costume. I can see someone buying the rollers to paint and create some fun garden art. You have to stop thinking that people buy the stuff for the original purpose. They don't. I'm always looking for wool skirts that someone put in the wash and shrunk. I make braided wool rugs and those skirts are perfect. If clothing is really too worn out, I always cut the buttons off. A jar of buttons is great stuff for crafts. Then I cut the clothing up and use it for rags. Much better than throwing it out and then grabbing a paper towel. We keep a stash in the garge for things like wiping up oil and other things where I won't want to wash the rag. Just throw it away then. To me, books are consumables. I buy them at the thrift store, read and re-donate. Our library takes donations and then has a huge sale twice a year. I'm a long time quilter and I do some sewing (but more of a wanna be with that one). I got rid of my fabric stash several years ago. I think this fabric hoarding is awful. I've been a quilt appraiser for several years and am amazed at how much money people spend for stuff to just sit on the selves for years. Let's live our lives, not store them. I know you are in the city, so it's different than me just putting a bag in the van for the next time I'm out, but just fill a grocery bag every day and drop it off. Don't wait for a big load to go.

Newton? Didn't remember that was where you were from. Bummer, we stopped there on the way back from our out west camping trip and ate at a Culver's. Would have called you to connect had I remembered that you were a Newtonite. :-( Sherry

Oh my gosh, it's gorgeous! I love the linen texture shown upthread. I had chosen a green tile and then chickened out and so like kksmama, I have way more than a touch of green jealousy! This tile just looks so right in your kitchen.
