Judith – how did the Open Studio Tour go? I learned that from all the years doing shows and creating my mailing list that there was pent-up demand for my work. Collectors bought the BIG paintings during the private viewings – one couple came back again and bought more! Good luck to you.

Vidya: Tough to get rid of the sewing machines and typewriters because they were family heirlooms and they are TOOLS which I cherish. I certainly did NOT get rid of the antique Danish furniture – that’s now sitting pretty in my New Orleans home! Move was tough but SO worth it – living lightly down here!

Diane: How’d your progress with the Florida home clean-out? You need a wide audience for the photo equipment so be prepared to have to ship it. Etsy account would work. FaceBook Marketplace is worth a try but usually covers a very small area (the buyer sets the preferences for the area.) Alyson’s right about EBay. You can also research photo equipment tag sales that pop up yearly or semi-annually. It’s worth all the work in the end!

Bravo! A heartfelt thank you for all the great information AND the comment that allowed us to plan to hold our open studio tour——you provided an opportunity for a private view of your studio sale. When we were deciding what to do for our tour, your idea for a private view was an AH-HA moment. It provided an option that we could incorporate and proceed.

Vidya: I get it. I’m such a “things” person. Not because they are valuable possessions, but because they hold valuable memories. Thanks for listening!

I enjoyed listening to Daryl! It’s so inspiring because I was imagining “behind the process” prep work and planning involved to get it all together. It’s a lot of hard work. I was able to relate to Daryl because I love and enjoy keeping an organized space.My heart ached while I was listening when she had to make the decision to let go of her antique Danish furniture, sewing machines, typewriters, cameras etc. etc. But, I learned so much about what you need to do to make it worth for you even though you are parting away your valuables that you held on to for a long time. It’s certainly a great feeling to give away and decluttering helps with every phase of life. New Hampshire is one of our top family vacation spots and we have spent quite a few summers there. Daryl, you make beautiful paintings and I wish you good luck with your new move!

Good luck, Gihan! Are you trying to sell those? (I get it about the books.)

Diane: Glad this spoke to you. I, too, have some photo stuff to sell. Not sure that was on Daryl’s list, but I’m thinking eBay (though now I’m intrigued by FB Marketplace).
