Mother of Re-Invention

My nephew bailed on tomorrow's cookout (thinks he has COVID from the Oasis concert) and honestly, I am relieved. I was going to have to do a bunch of housework to get ready and now I don't have to! Plus I am really trying to spend as much time as I can pricing and moving out the excess layer of stuff in the house, and it all takes time to do.

This week:
1. Mom's copper pots and molds in the porch. All need some heavy-duty cleaning with a specialty cleaner, and then pricing. (The molds are from a friend, but the pots from Mom will be hard. She rarely used them but I was looking at pictures for the memorial, and realized they hung in every kitchen they ever had. But I can't keep everything, I can't keep everything, I can't keep everything.)
2. The door knobs and other door hardware in two boxes in the office. Bought them from a friend for $7. People pay good money for those crystal knobs! That mostly needs sorting and pricing.
3. The magazines in the office (and basement, tbh) need to be bagged and priced.
4. The big acrylic magazine rack in the garage needs a huge cleaning. I bought it from some dealers who retired, and it is covered in leftover tape pieces from the years and years and years it sat in their ephemera booth.

Ok maybe that will take 2 weeks to complete.

In other news, Ann, I finally sold that Duran Duran game today! Took a big sale cut for the customer but she was so thrilled to buy it. That always makes my day.
