I have a trust account. In it are pages of what I want done. I have assinged a best buddy quilter to be in charge of the disposal - sale and donation - of all my sewing/quilting/crafting items. Neither of my grown children really have a clue and it would hurt to know they just donated or sold them to someone only interested in making money and not 'art.'
I do go to the estate sales that send out notices on the net. I first look at the pictures and decide if it is worth going to. I bought my FW at an estate sale. Also a dress dummy and other items.
