Yes. I have acquired a mess of “stuff” that I won’t be taking it with me when I go (to the states, not the here-after of death). I’m going to begin separating the stuff this week and I figure it will probably take me about 2 weeks.
I’m going to ditching the following stuff:
- fabric
- 1:6 furniture
- 1:6 props
- I may ditch a few of my dolls/figures as well but I’m not sure at this point.
The majority of stuff is likely to be the doll furniture & varied props. I want to narrow it down from 13 A4 sized paper boxes (furniture/props) to about 3 max. The doll/sewing fabric needs to get whittled down from an over abundant 10 boxes to whatever I could comfortably fit into a smallish suitcase.
Yea, I know I’ve spent the last 3 years collecting this stuff—but—most of it isn’t special enough for me to go through the hassle of
1) shipping it home
or
2)incurring the cost and expense of crating it home. (This is an ongoing dialogue between M & myself about what we really NEED to take with us vs. what’s “habit”. Hey I can easily & freely admit I’m a pack rat, but M has a problem (although he has 40 yrs worth of stuff spread between here and his folks place). Besides, I believe the occasional re-boot/total clear out is good for the soul.
After all, at the end of the day, it’s just stuff.
SOOOOoooooooooooo…..If anyone is looking for anything in specific (furniture/props/fabric) post a message and let me know. If I’ve got it I’ll let you know what I’m after (more than likely just a few bucks+postage)

Where in the States are you ending up?
we’re looking at CNY (so figure within a 35-45 minute commute to Syracuse). We wanted to do Maine or New Hampshire, but the property values (and taxes) are just out of our comfort zone. Plus there’s a slightly better employment market.
NH property taxes *are* miserable.
But, hey, Syracuse is close enough to me for a road trip!

Yep! Definitely is! I’m so looking forward to having some folks to come visit! You can consider yourself invited!
