I miss the jingle of the bells on the door...


and the smiling customers faces...
and the funny sound the cash register made...
and the freezing cold when I first walked in the door in the morning (ok...this not so much)...
and the waves of the folks that walked their dogs past the window each day...

feeling reflective today cuz yesterday I sold the cash register that we used in the store that we closed...
as I am selling off business related items, I find that the reality of closing the store has finally hit (even though we closed in November...)
it is funny, some times I am elated that we closed...my mall spaces have never been more full...
I have time to cook "real" food as my son calls it...
I have more time with my granddaughter...
I can actually "create"...

but yet I feel this shopkeeper tug...

and I have to remind myself that it was the right thing to do...

the picture?
took it from my back porch as the sun came up this morning...
what a stunning start to a fresh day...
need to keep reminding myself...
a fresh start...

to keep or not to keep...that is the question...I need help purging!


I am trying soooo hard to "sell, sell, sell"...

but I so love drawers, and metal, clay pots and trays... and display pieces...

but I need a PUSH to sell some of my items...

cuz I just have soooo much...

so...would love opinions...

sell? or save?



ohhhh....so hard...
