That works for me, Jeppy. My thought has always been that whoever starts the thread gets to call it. It isn't a whole lot of time though, so I will keep expectations for myself modest.

Ambitious but good goals Tybee.
I am so disgusted with my lack of progress on all fronts. And there are so many fronts - I'm aware that is a (the??) major problem. But I just don't seem able to focus on ONE MAIN THING.
So I reboot - again - and keep trying, right?
So from now until the equinox:
Take apart one of the treadle sewing machines and price the components for sale.
Soak/wash/iron/price the boxes of linens I need to sell, and get the ironing board out of the living room. HOW did I end up inheriting SO MANY throws, tablecloths, napkins, embroidered pillowcases? And my SIL just gave me boxes of linens from her family. I bet I have 75 mid-century tablecloths... and damask, and lace, and, and.... I have ONE table!! At least the cloths are selling fairly well! I've been pretty good about sorting out the torn, stained, or worn stuff, so at least what is left will sell, I just need to prep it. I keep selling the easy stuff, and letting the "needs work" stuff sit. Like the laundry fairies will come do it while I'm asleep, lol.
Wow, what ambitions you all have.
As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
That's a lot of tablecloths! I have too many but sorted them out during the move.
Where are you selling them? I should try. . .
Thanks, Yppej!
