What a wonderful idea to have a inventory of your treasures on your blog...I like very much...This should be one of the blogger prompts...I would love to do something like that and not just on paper.
ReplyDeleteThis is helping me work through it all. There is so much in the closet in numerous files boxes, and several not even re-boxed yet. Now I am holding myself accountable by posting one piece every Thursday, and it is not as overwhelming.
