I can understand how you would feel so frustrated with the overload. Could you get someone else to help you with ironing and storing the donations? Maybe someone could do some sorting for you, and lend you some shelves.
I love looking at vintage fabrics. Of course it tells you how old I am when the fabric from my childhood is now considered vintage. lol!
I am sure that I do not need to tell you how lucky you are too. I make little dresses and sorts for orphanages in Nicaragua and Africa. I was about bowled over when a lady in a local quilt shop heard about what I do, and she gave me a little, brown grocery sack of fabric! I sure didn't expect it. In some ways, I am jealous of you just because you will always have a continuous supply.
There might be a demand for some of your vintage items. Maybe you can take really good photographs of them, and try to raise money by selling them in groups, or with some accent fabrics? Just an idea!
