This quilt has been hiding behind another design wall for a few months. When I slid the wall back I was so excited to see it again and realized how gorgeous it is.
I’m hoping I’ll get a chance to at least finish the piecing soon.
I’ve always told students if you don’t like something put it away for a while and you will see it with new eyes and really be able to evaluate it.
I DID love this one when it got to this point, but I love it MORE seeing it again.
I know someone is going to be thrilled to win this set.
This ICON handbag “The Procession Of The Brides” can be used with just about anything.
Someone snapped this one up almost as soon as it was listed.
4 matching pieces in a rich color called Iron Rust
Another gorgeous CS Collage silk scarf
A regal royal purple set with velvet and organic cotton. This was one of those outfits I had a real hard time deciding to part with. It’s fantastico!
Yes, I’m still holed up listing on eBay – maybe one or two more weeks to go.
Right now I am listing a lot of things I rally had to convince myself to release them to new owners.
If you want to see the rest for the week they are at:

As you may or may not know posting these things on my blog is my way of letting them go but still have the memories of them.
My closet is getting emptier and I can find things and put new combinations together.
One of my collections is my clothing – Blue Fish, and other fine lines. Even with divesting myself of some of it 2 and 3 years ago my closets were still too full.
So what’s a girl to do?
Well share some of it on eBay of course. I didn’t think I had so much to share that I’d still be posting every week.
I’m not done yet!!!
These pants and top are two of the things I will be parting with this week.
Another great duo that will be going to a new home.
An Eileen Fisher dress with a CS Collage scarf – both will be traveling to new owners.
These are just some of the things I have available this week.
You can see them all at:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/bluefishquilter/m.html?_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1
It’s a good feeling to free up closet space and be able to see what I have and put new combinations together.
Keep watching for “The Rest Of The Story”!
Soon many of the things I’m showing you this week will be nothing but memories for me.
This 4 piece outfit is a very clever styling by Blue Fish.
These pieces which are a combination of knit and woven have created a lot of interest already.
This is an interesting set. The skirt converts to pants when you button it a different way.
The peplum effect is wonderful.
I am featuring a very large Carter Smith scarf with the top. The possibilities are endless with a scarf this size.
This Isabella Fiore purse was snapped up immediately when I listed it.
A smart shopper scored this Carter Smith kimono jacket before I knew what happened. She made a very good buy saving $XXXX.00 on a brand new garment. Good for her!
These are a few of the things I have listed on my eBay auction this week.
If you would care to see all of them just click on this link:

Of course each item has a full description along with more photos.
This has been taking the majority of my time recently and I still expect to be selling for a few more weeks.
I am finding things to wear in my closets that I had forgot about now that they have emptied out some!
Yes, it’s a good feeling.
This has been an exceptionally busy week for me with my eBay auctions. These were 6 coordinated pieces I offered and five of the 6 were snapped up with Buy It Nows.
This seems to be the season for thermal. The pants and Jacket were gone before I even realized they were up for bids. The vest is available on my eBay auctions.
I am even offering several pairs of my beloved Troentorp clogs this week. This is a prototype pair I was fortunate to be able to purchase and I’ve never worn them. The embossed leather is something special. I am guessing they were never produced for the market as the process to create the leather was cost prohibitive.
This shibori dyed scarf is also available for bids.
These three pieces were also snapped up almost immediately.
This is a close up of a geisha painting on a pair of 4 panel pants I have up for auction. There is an identical geisha on each panel, along with a secondary painting. The art is all by Brian, the Eagle! You can see the color of the pants around the painting. This would be fantastic with a simple black top.
There are a lot of great things still available as I list a lot each week. The auctions close Sunday evening between 7 and 9 p.m. PDT and I also have some closing Monday evening between 7 and 9 p.m. PDT.
If you want to see what I have up for auction you can go to:

I know I have not been present on the blog much recently. I am still on that same track selling on eBay and shipping the packages.
This week was no different, with the exception that I listed more than normal and kept busy, busy , busy. Today I will finish shipping the items won.
This awesome Blue Fish jacket is an outstanding piece I’ve listed on eBay this week.
One lucky person will be the new owner.
These 3 pieces in the color Pomme are also available for a new owner. The teapot jumper and the Dream skirt are that exciting Blue Fish organic thermal cotton. There is even a lyrical print of a teapot on the jumper.
The lycra layering tee is their fantastic cotton lycra stretch fabric with just enough stretch for fit perfectly. When I see these pictures it makes me wonder why I am selling these pieces? I guess the answer is I can’t wear it all and it’s my goal to let someone else treasure these pieces and wear those I have never worn or don’t wear.
Three of the 4 pieces available in the color MUD! How can a color this vibrant be called a dull name like mud?
And the 4th piece in MUD – a thermal dress shown with one of those marvelous Carter Smith scarves.
This is the outstanding Geisha print from a Geisha Tee – the most desirable of ALL Blue Fish tops.
This velour lounging robe by FIRE from Origins in Santa Fe is so soft, rich and comfortable. Origins is rated one of the 10 BEST boutiques in the WORLD!
This is just a sampling of what I have listed this week.

Although this is a way for me to share what I am passing on with all of you, it is also a way for me to memorialize what I no longer have in my closets.
My closets are getting emptier, but I still have a way to go. I keep finding things I’m willing to part with each day!!!!!!!!!!!!
Until next time – whenever that may be……………….
I am still using eBay to help reduce things I no longer need and want to share with others.
I sold this outfit. It is currently winging it’s way to the new lucky owner.
This ethereal Carter Smith top is also on it’s way to a happy new owner.
This big bodacious SIGNED Carter Smith scarf is going to a thrilled new owner.
A savvy buyer snapped this one up on a Buy It Now shortly after it was listed.
This shirt and pants are currently available in separate auctions for some lucky winner!
These pieces in the new neutral color Twiggy are available to purchase.
This absolutely gorgeous coat/dress is also ready for someone to enjoy as the new owner.
I have one more Carter smith scarf up for auction also.
These are only a few of the things I am selling this week. I’ve finally got on the right track and have listed more than usual and you won’t want to miss the GREAT ones I have available.
You can find them at:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/bluefishquilter/m.html?_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1
I am also selling patterns, a few kits and collector magazines for those of you who love to sew or just collect the patterns!
They are at:

Yes, I have been very busy – more than full time this week.
I anticipate keeping busy and passing more things on to happy buyers.
Last week Greg, Julie and the family were here for a visit. We were able to get the most of Jeff’s family over while they were here.
We had a pizza party on the gazebo – yes, all 11 of us in the 12 x 12 inch space!
Jeff has just said to Greg “You look like the young version of Dad and I look like the old version of Dad!”
The cousins had a great time playing the guitars and ukelele.
Do you see a resemblance between Jeff and Jeff Jr?
Nick is a “little” taller than cousin Heidi!
Although Blake missed the get together, he surprised me Friday night. I was up in the studio working and heard someone come in. I figured it was Greg’s family. Blake drove down after work so he could spend time with the relatives.
It was a wonderful family time with perfect weather.
I’m enjoying documenting some of the things I am deacquisitioning. This is a group of 6 pieces of Blue Fish clothing from the late 1990’s.
All are NEW WITH TAG. They are very RARE, desirable and collectible.
This is a 5 piece NWT group of FLAX by Engelhart – cheerful and flattering.
Of course each items is selling individually.
This Christine Foley sweater is perfect for an elementary of nursery school teacher, or anyone who likes letters or colors.
There are a lot more. You can see them all here:

As I continue toward my goal of getting rid of 5000 things this year, I am happy to part with things that someone else will treasure.
Having some of them documented on my blog makes it easier to let them go!
