I have a problem. Well, actually I have lots of them, but today I am focusing on just one. ~*~
I have a section of my downstairs that is being taken over by items that I have a mental block about listing and selling. These are not items that I ever bought to keep. They were purchased with the entire purpose of selling. But, I acquired them before I realized I had such a phobia of dealing with *big* things.
~*~
Now I can already sense those of you who sell chairs and couches and bar stools and tables beginning to laugh at me. Please understand that *big* is all relative. My comfort zone is, well, sending envelopes of fabric, or boxes filled with crocheted goodies. I can even handle the occasional piece of Pyrex or set of mugs.
~*~
But, when I begin to consider photographing magazine racks, shoeshine caddies, tool trugs, briefcases or doll trunks I start to hyperventilate a little. My mind comes up with five million other things that *must* be done, and those items continue to sit in my den without a hope or chance of finding a new home!
~*~
Well, ENOUGH! With you all as my witnesses, I WILL photograph and list one of these cumbersome items every week until they are all in my shop. You have my word, and keeping my word is not one of my problems ;)

Care to join me in making a public declaration of a baby step you will take toward a task that you've been afraid of or avoiding? Please do! Leave a comment and let's support each other toward our goals. The doll trunk pictured here will be my first *big* item to list... look for her soon in sosovintage!
Since my first listed wallflower is on its way to Portugal (yay! a new country for my list!), I needed to make a new one to replace it in my shop.
I tried this photo with the flower on the fabric. I *think* I like it...does it look too busy to you for my first listing photo?
I hope your week is off to a splendiferous start! I have loads of photos to take, listings to create, and a rug to start this week. Also have to get an oil change, and get ready for the big girl bed coming on Friday. My baby isn't a baby anymore- wah!!!!
