Still Packing.
At first just packing, to be ready.
Now, more focused. What's needed?
This jar on the mantle, from the 70s. I used an illustration for a label. It used to be a container for an herb concoction. I was almost obsessed with herbal remedies back then. The contents were always different, and as time passed, never labeled. The only thing it says is TRY THIS.
And yes, there are even tack holes on the mantle. I actually heard the buyer exclaim that, with some sort of joy. That's actually why , even though there was already a reasonable offer on this place, I decided to accept theirs and wait for what seemed like an eternity for them to pull their act together.
The quilt I am mending has a lot more needed work than imagined. Here is a wishing star that has seen better days, and even though it is falling apart, it can be repaired to look like new. Still, I like how what's almost not there still gives it form. It's almost whispering "...try this, it might be good enough..."
And yes, we found a place. It's not what we dreamed of, but it will do.
