Silva's selling all her really cool stuff. Jump on it!

As some of you may or may not know, my godmother Silva, my mum away from mum, is soon to be moving.

To facilitate this, she's selling as many of her non-essentials as possible, this includes silver, books, furniture, mirrors, tea things, antiques, oddities, and almost anything shiny and interesting you can imagine. (Sorry everyone, the giant plaster parrot has already moved to my house.) Bonus: 250 books are for sale, $2 for any hardcover and $1 for any softcover

So come one, come all, to Silva's Super Saturday Sale!

She's been a constant inspiration in my life and I've always been immensely proud to be related to her. What she's about to do, move across the country to be with the woman she loves, is going to be difficult, and she needs all the help she can get. Even if you come by for five dollars worth of books, you'll be contributing. Added up, it tips the balance. That, and it gets it out of the house, which counts for more than you might think. The less she has to worry about, the better.

More pictures of what's for sale in her journal.

Having just gone through this very same process (selling everything I own to move across the country to be with the woman I love) I send my love and wishes for the best luck. May your buyers be numerous and friendly!

(unfortunately I'm in the wrong country to buy something, but I'll be buying in spirit)

Did you finally get all your things from the airport? Were your missing bags recovered? I've been wondering.

And thank you! I hope so too.

I did in fact. It took some wrangling,I was hindered by the fact that someone wrote my name down wrong somewhere, but I was helped by the lovely woman at the baggage claim counter who after two days said "I remember you!"

I am no longer naked. woohoo!

It's trickling. The weather hates everyone.
