The ending

MmCleaning out is done. Items are priced. Peace is made with letting go of my Art Deco living room set. No one loved it but me. I really think that is a testament to my good taste, not the other way around. 

From the late 1920's to early 30's, Art Deco spanned the bridge from stuffy Victorian to the truly Modern period. 

My set sported a sofa, ladies chair and winged gentleman's chair. 

My goal was to find someone who loved it like I did. Thanks to Mary Grace and Ryan who hauled it to Sophie and Paul's house for Fondren Flea, a neighborhoodwide yard sale held on Zippety Doo Dah weekend. We started early. 

In true McNeil style , we all brought food. Doughnuts, pigs in blankets and sausage balls. We really should have talked. So we offered surplus doughnuts to customers. 

The sun rises on the offerings. A few things were snatched back. I kept getting sentimental. My mom's leather car coat???  Mostly though, we all let go. 

Sleepy cashiers. I told them to mind their chins. 

Ryan attracting customers in the chair. 

Near the end of the day a sweet young lady came by and fell I love with my furniture!!! She was a physical therapist who just moved to the area and was excited to buy it!! I'm so happy.               On another repurposing note. 

This furniture has moved from neighbor to neighbor. From Candy to Joyce to Candy to another neighbor. I'm sad to say this time waste management picked it up. Got Ed in the cleaning mode. 

Found two perfectly good Palm Pilots. Yikes.  What to do with those ??

Wow.   Look at the space. Candy and I participated in another spring ritual. 

Moore's nursery. 

It was gorgeous. Then met Anna for lunch at Local 463. 

Candy got the special Royal Red salad. 

Got my usual veggie plate. Toby got a fresh bag of food. 

He guards it until Ed puts it away.
