Before we became snowbirds we sold our big house and the hardest part of the move was dealing with my stash! I had too much stuff. Will never do that to myself again. Keeping it simple makes life so much easier.
I envy you being rid of your big home. I'm kind of stuck since I lost my husb. 4 yrs. ago & the real estate mkt. went to pot so I can't really afford to take what the mkt. will handle right now. My fabric stash wouldn't be a prob. to deal with but my huge pattern glass collection of 20 yrs. is a burden. That mkt. fell out. too. I would feel so FREE without this property & just deal with a smaller place here & my little place south of Lk Havasu City, Az. I have such a cute 10x12 sq ft quilt shop there. I have 3 friends who love to come "shop" there or to see what I'm working on now. Got them all busy last season. I've only been home 3 days & all I do is clean when all I want to do is sew. LOL
