EEEKKK - More rage and frustration

Sometimes you in old movies you can see a woman wearing a fur neckpiece that looks like the whole animal - to me that IS disgusting.

I remember my mother had one of those! But hers seems to have had more fur so maybe it was a larger animal. I was wondering if one of those would wind up in this thread. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I called a thrift store that's about 13 miles away. I had their card and it said they pick up. So I called them today and asked whoever answered if they take drapes and curtains and if so could they come and get them. She said they would take them on approval, but added they no longer pick up and I would need to make an appointment. Right now I never know what I'm going to be doing at an given time. PHOOEY!!!

I asked my cousin yeaterday when he dropped off the mower when he would be going to the city mission again. He said not until October 29th. He only goes on the last Friday of a month with 5 Fridays.

Was your cousin the mechanic?

BTW - it was out in my backyard this morning. I was wheeling it over to the garage when a neighbor came over, but he couldn't get it started either.

It's beginning to sound like Deb isn't the hoarder. More like her parents were & she just lived in the house with the accumulation of stuff. Why is anyone's guess, I don't have a guess.
 
Another find amid the chaos - a card table sized tablecloth. Looks like an Eastern motif - almost like the Taj Mahal. Photo does not do it justice - it has a deep blue background, silky texture; the sheen doesn't show in the photo. Tassels on all edges. I like this and will probably keep it. Might look better after I iron it, but I'm not certain what fabric it is or what iron setting to use.

looks similar to a wall hanging rug I had of Peacocks... same colours, beautiful royal blue... Mine was quite a bit larger, and hung on the livingroom wall many years ago... but with yours, you could try either ironing on the 'wrong' side..or covering the cloth with a damp tea-towel and pressing that way with a warm iron

Keep that tablecloth. Don’t waste your time working on it until later when you‘re settled in your new home. The first approach might be to hang it from a rack and steam it lightly. As I said, don’t rush it; you have too much to do now.

I never had any reason to go in some closets. I had what I needed. Why go to an auto parts store if you need ink for your printer?

Remember that cabinet that I found in the cellar last summer an couldn't get the drawers open? Everyone wanted to know what was in them and to bust them open. I wasn't curious enough to do that. Guess I'm just not an inquiring person - unless neighbors are making noise.

If you open it, make sure you're not alone.
 
I advertised the curtains and drapes on Marketplace and FB Online Garage Sale, Craig's List and want AdDigest. Didn't get any nibbles. Called a few consignment and thrift shops, they don't want them, either.
