A few of my favorite things~ Lovingly collected and letting go.

I sold all the wire glove stretchers from my old blog header.

Tomorrow is the First Anniversary of my online shop, anythinggoeshere.etsy.

And in anticipation of the coming second year,

I have been taking a look back at the first.

Several dozens of my Italian stone fruit are out the door.

And one of my reasons for opening an online shop

was to sell items from my personal, long-time collections.

My favorite glass terrarium is living in California.

This has worked out really well because I get to decide

"piece by piece" when it is time for something to go.

After I enjoyed this decoration on the front door last fall

I listed it, and off it went.

Both of my vintage Phrenology heads

are living in other parts of the country.

I am getting  close to not having any vintage garden tools~

something I collected for over 20 years.

When cleaning off a shelf in one of the bedrooms

I realized I was never going to collect any more vintage Easter

so this guy went to live with dozens of others like him.

This old bug started to bug me

so now he is bugging someone else.

Making a clean sweep of a desk, this armillary had to go.

As a regular reader of my blog, you know the whole story of brushes,

brushes and more brushes getting multiple new homes.

Loved this religious piece, but again knew it was never going to become

a collection so it is now living in Pennsylvania with someone who

does collect them.

This part of my "Museum of Measurement" left in the clean=off of the above mentioned desk.

Thank you so much for a wonderful first year of selling at

anythinggoeshere.etsy.

And a special Thank You to everyone who has given new homes to

things from my personal collections.
