Hamo it was a delight to have you visit and so much fun to hang out at the Jungle Bird with you. The traffic was cleared up by the time we were on the freeway home. The only excitement was when a dozen Hells Angles drove between us and the car in the next lane. It's such a crazy law that permits that to happen legally. Come again ya hear. ======================================= Well we did it again. We sold two complete collections and have shipped them out of the house. In fact they are still in-route. To sell our collection we take photos with a ruler. We offer it as a package, every item has to be taken to make it worth the effort to package and ship. This sale was for our PNG and plate collection. Here are a few examples. PNG masks one with Cassowary feathers. Ren Clark plate. When the deal was struck we raced through the night to get supplies. Not easy without a truck. Back home we stripped the walls and counter tops of all the items we had sold. We then removed the nails and puttied the holes. They don't show unless a flash is used. I will eventually paint the rooms. Then I quickly re-decorated the walls. The PNG items were lined up on the table according to size and shape. From a different angle. Then it was time to strip the next room of all the plates on the three walls. These were stacked on the dining room table where they will be organized. Back in 2002 we purchased a whole lot of tiki volcano bowls from Louie B in Hawaii. We put the five large boxes into our attic so that when the time came we needed them we could use them. The time is now. With these and the bubble wrap we could pack these up safely. Our home becomes a huge mess when packing up so many items. You can see here how much progress we have made. The boxes were stacking up. We rush to beat the Christmas shoppers and their shipping. Now it was time for the tallest statue. We pressed in tissue paper for support. We used some of the volcano bowl box supplies and the bubble wrap. This box was now added to the others. Once we had the boxes all shipped we put the chairs on the table and vacuum the carpets. More work to add to the rest. All of these was done before Hamo came to visit. Our downsizing is working but there's so much more to sell. Cheers, Wendy
