We are both the oldest surviving members of our families. As life-long collectors, and inheritors from those who have Gone Before, we must move on some of our Stuff before that (hopefully far-off) day when it becomes our children’s responsibility. Happy to combine for cheaper postage but PLEASE WAIT for combined invoice from me or ask me for one;
postage discounts can only be given on combined purchases paid for on a single invoice.
From our own bookshelves. Either our collecting tastes have moved on, or we realise you can’t keep everything forever. Always remembering my mantra “Junk is stuff we throw away; stuff is junk we keep.”
Not sure how I can bear to part with these, they are so gorgeous. But honestly, when am I likely to come across a Lalique (or similar) perfume in the bottom of a box lot? And I certainly didn’t have any rich rellies to leave them to me. So pass them on to someone who may appreciate them more. Happy to combine.
