The perfect day to pull out a washtub filled with soapy water.
A fine day to gather all the baskets, pottery, and enamelware to wash and set out on the grass to dry.
I snapped a photo when all had been returned to the house but the red and white enamelware.
It is basic really.
Take your basins out to bathe and do not let them back in the house.
Another collection gone.
See y'all!

Oh my goodness Donna! Your house is going to be bare in no time the way you're purging! I must admit...sometimes I am tempted to get rid of most of my "stuff" because the house looks much bigger and even cleaner in a way without it all. Much less to dust too! Good for you...:) Have a great day!

I need to downsize some collections myself. Looks like you have a good start. Love that metal stand in your picture! Have fun with what you are doing!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how when you take some things away, you don't even miss them...That is a great collection....There isn't room but they would look great in my greenhouse...
ReplyDeleteThose basins will be well loved in another home. :)
ReplyDeleteI better not ever come to shop in your booth, you'd be out of inventory and I'd be broke!

Never, lol!!!! I only have a couple of those, so easy for me to say!!
ReplyDeleteGreat collection gone to mall, more space retrieved (which will get filled up all too soon). Makes sense to me. The pattern of a shop owner.

That's a fabulous collection! More space gained is a good thing, and I'm sure they'll be well loved by their new owners.
ReplyDeletePurging is so good, and so painful! I know I need to sell my big, round coffee table (that took forever to find), and it just sits, taking up space. I love it, but what a space hog! The kids want it gone, they love playing on the rug, *sigh*. I need to just post it for sale. I love your basins and would probably still be tempted to buy them, even though I have a couple already, heehee. Why is it so hard to stop collecting beautiful things?
ReplyDeleteI used to collect these and I had a cabinet full. When my now 11 year old niece was a toddler she would pull them out and sit in the big one. I also had all the red wooden handled kitchen utensils. She'd and her brother would pretend to bake. They still have that memory. They were sold when I renovated to my new kitchen. I miss the old:\(
ReplyDeleteNice collection Donna and I am sure you will miss them for awhile but will enjoy the space gained. I am packing up from the garage sale and calling Finds Thrift to come get everything. Stuff, I will not miss. I hope to be in a major purge this year.

LOL!! I need to wash all my vintage items outside so I can let go of them. Those are great basins. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty collection!! Love the red edges on them! :) Happy new week!! xo Holly
ReplyDeleteI have such a HUGE collection of the tan/cream with green trim or light green with green trim enamelware... I need to downsize, I think.... Thanks for sharing @ TTF!
ReplyDeleteHa! Now there's a plan. :) Thanks for sharing this post with Revisionary Life Thrifty Life Thursday Linky Party, Donna.
