Change is in the air!

ok.............crazy times....
This summer...beginning in July...my hubby and I sold a family home in Iowa.. and I called out my lovely daughter Jjay to come and help me and we worked on packing and moving and an estate sale. (that was Estate Sale #1)
THEN
my lovely daughter Jjay, came back to Illinois where she helped me get rid of things in my mothers old home and helped me do another estate sale. (that would be Estate sale#2)
THEN
The following week, Jjay helped me PACK up our home...
because we decided to move and Downsize (or as my hubby calls it..RIGHT SIZE) our life
since i inherited my mothers home.
(that would be Estate sale #3)

The photo on top is my house...it is big...6 bedrooms...and we always had it filled..with our children or other people's kids...this was my old life...my hubby and i worked with youth for years....
(all the while doing photos on the side!)
then one by one..as the years rolled on....the kids moved out...are on their own...and now we have a large house...and we inherited a much smaller one......

so we made the plunge...
signed the contract to sell it...

and moved our things to our much smaller home..

now during all this change...my daughter JJay had taken over my ebay business for me...

and now....in a few days...Jjay is heading back to Connecticut where she resides with her hubby...and I will go back to Chatham Ho Treasures.

BUT

Jjay found out that SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH OLD PHOTOS...so she will now be selling photos under charjayhay Treasured Finds (where I was selling the past few months because I found so much stuff I had to sell!)

I am blessed with an AWESOME daughter....who I trust has taken care of all of you over the past 9 months...
I am so proud of her and her husband who gave their time unselfishly to her dad and me during this crazy time.....

so I am sure you will be seeing alot of her....she LOVES old wedding photos and plans on selling lots of them.....

so it is time for me to RIGHT SIZE my life...

to live a little simpler....

and still ...oh yes....to enjoy those special moments...

WOW CATHI!! How in the world are you keeping up with ALL of this? Please take care of yourself by eating healthy and getting a bit of well deserved rest. That said, I hope that you will still be selling @ ebay also. That is... when you get a break from all the craziness. You have been in my thoughts and prayers since we have shared a very difficult past Dec.
