Declutter -[check, WIP]
you see I have a slight issue with hoarding, holding on to things that may be somewhat sentimental to me. On Australia Day 2014 my best friend came over to help me declutter my wardrobe, i binned a lot of clothes (Donated to charity). I had discovered the "Buy/Swap/ Sell" Pages on Facebook. which was a blessing and a curse. I was able to sell off the things i no longer needed, like a bed, my bicycle etc. BUT i also bought a lot of wonderful treasures, some of which you can see below.
This was the beginning of my process of letting go of the old and welcoming the new... yay! now i am addicted to selling things lol
Sell at local Markets [check]
I have done a few markets now and quite enjoy the experience of the whole day, its a big learning process to be a vendor at the markets. I will be doing a " Markets for Dummies - Tips & Tricks" Blog soon - Watch this space :)
Build furniture [Check]
I managed to build my book shelf, coffee table and Dining table, AND I was able to acquire many wonderful Antique and vintage pieces for my humble abode.
