Out of all of the people I know I'm going to miss terribly when I leave Santa Cruz, the thing I'm feeling most emotional about right now is the fact that I can't take my couch and chaise with me. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that! But I feel really sad that we can't make them work in our new house. I'm sad partly because I have a high need for efficiency and economy and I know these pieces could serve us well for a good ten years more! Urrgh! And, will someone love them and enjoy them and get use out of them...who knows? So, I've listed them on Craigslist, and now I wait. I don't blame anyone for wanting new furniture (it's kind of a personal item) but what do I do with them if no one buys them? Goodwill seems a bit harsh.
(Notice how much I've packed? No more pictures on the walls or "accessories." Just the basics.)

I'll be right there. Will they fit in my truck? What a deal. I wish I was closer. They're terrific. Good luck!
Once upon a time when I was moving away from America to join my new husband in Italy, I donated my furniture to a store called Cherished Again that resold used furniture, I wonder if there is a place like that near you. I am sure that someone who doesn't have very much would really appreciate such wonderful furniture if you do decide to donate it to the Good will, or a church, or a thrift store. You may just ease someone's burden and enhance their day to day life.
I was born on April 1st in Berkeley, California. I'm enjoying a life full of satisfaction and challenge alongside my dear friend and partner, Bill, and our almost twelve year-old daughter, Annie. We have a great house and garden that we share with two dogs, nine canaries, and three fire bellied toads. We are choosing a path of living that holds everyone's needs as precious and equal. We're loving an unschooling approach to education for Annie and ourselves. We're trying to live a life with the least amount of negative impact to the enviornment. One way we're doing that is we're really trying to be mindful about what we buy, how we travel, and how we care for ourselves. I will post my ideas, challenges, and celebrations for doing so on this blog. I would love to hear any of yours too!
