We found good homes for as much of Peggi’s mom’s stuff as we could but there was a whole lot lot over. The clothes all went to the battered women shelter and we donated a couple tvs, a microwave, and other furniture to the living center next door to her apartment. And an antique dealer that Dick Storm’s recommended picked the place clean of stuff he can put in an upcoming household sale. You didn’t think the stuff in those sales actually came from the house where the sale is did you? And then we worked our way down the food chain by offering some stuff to a consignment shop in Winton Place and on the last day Mary Kaye from a place on Titus Avenue took what was left for her shop. We managed to get our garage cleaned out this summer just in time to fill it up with boxes of old photos and knick knacks, baubles, bibelots, curios, curiosities, doodads, gewgaws, novelties, ornamentals, trinkets and tchotchkes. If we had more traffic on our street I’d put a “free” sign out by the road and give this stuff away.

Is there a sculpture waiting to be released from all that stuff? Sounds like the raw materials for an assemblage to me!
