I may have gone a bit backwards in the decluttering journey. Drove down to Holts Summit on Wednesday because I won some vintage puzzles in one online auction. 18 puzzles for $6.60, so I can't complain about the price, and they're all clean, stored inside instead of out in a barn somewhere.
And today, I drove out to the other online auction, because I won six different lots of books. Like, a couple hundred books, maybe. Lots of Alan Dean Foster, M.C. Beaton, Dorothy Gilman, James Herriott, etc. There are quite a few Murder She Wrote books for the kiddo, and Mary Stewart for me. Including a vintage hardcover of The Little Princesses, written by the woman (nicknamed Crawfie) who was nanny to the future Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret. The plan is to spend part of tomorrow sorting out the books I want to keep (Foster, Gilman, Beaton, etc) and the ones I don't want to keep (Mary Higgins Clark, etc.) Group two will be listed cheap on Marketplace, and if they don't move quickly, will get donated somewhere - Friends of the Library, Habitat for Humanity, or somewhere like that.
