Sunday Post: Document Everything

Posted on by BonnieReadsAndWrites

Doug and I started going through my extensive glassware collection yesterday. We went through several boxes in the basement, deciding which ones I wanted to keep, sell, or give away. The keep pile was smaller than I thought it would be. Once we had the keep pile, Doug took pictures of everything and I created a document with pictures and descriptions, and we filled up our first crate, to go into storage at our retirement house. So we made some progress! The sell pile is pretty large, and I have to decide if I’m going to go the Ebay route or another route. It’s mostly glassware, a lot of it collectible like moon & stars. Any suggestions appreciated.

The hard part will be going through what I have displayed right now and see if I want to sell any of it. I have quite a bit on display. I have an extensive jadeite collection that I’m keeping. The picture is below. Ignore the mess and the non-jadeite. This is just a tiny bit of the glassware that I have.

LAST WEEK ON THE BLOG

On Monday, I participated in “It’s Monday, What Are You Reading?”

On Thursday, I reviewed the audiobook of Bright Lights, Big Christmas.

On Friday I participated in Book Blogger Hop.

On Saturday I reviewed Growing a Top-Notch Family Tree by Nancy Blodgett Klein for Indie Weekend.

NEXT WEEK ON THE BLOG

I’m trying very hard to catch up, so Indie Weekend may show up in the middle of the week! In addition, I hope to review The Bakery at Clamshell Bay audiobook by Sarah Jane Bailey Five Years After, by William Forstchen, Enola Holmes and the Mark of the Mongoose by Nancy Springer, and Christmas Presents by Lisa Unger.

BOOK HAUL

I was very excited to get The Exchange: After The Firm, by John Grisham, a revisit to the main character of the novel The Firm 15 years later.

I started reading it right away, but sadly it’s been underwhelming. Not what I expected at all. Maybe it will get better.

Sad Passing: Farewell to Jimmy Buffett. Doug introduced me to his music in 1980 when we were in high school and we were huge fans. RIP, Son of a Son of a Sailor.

Hope you all had a wonderful week.

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

  3. RIP, Jimmy Buffet:( FB marketplace is a good place to start, like Northwoman said, Bonnie. Several years ago, I had a ‘yard sale’ and unloaded lots of things, including depression glass, etc. But I lived on a busy road where things sold easily.

  5. What a nice collection! It looks like you are making nice progress going through the glassware. What a fun adventure.

    Bright Light looks like a fun read. Happy Labor Day to you! 🙂

  7. You’re doing a good job of adjusting to your new residence, Bonnie, organized and realistic. You’re also doing a good job at your reviews. That will take a hit during your move, but that’s life. I hope Jimmy Buffett is resting easy.

  12. My sister and I will soon have to take on sorting through the glassware and statuettes my mom collected over the years. Most of it isn’t to my taste and can go, it’s just finding the time to sort through it and the means to get rid of it. The Lisa Unger book sounds good, I love Christmas Thrillers. I’ll check it out.
