After my busy day yesterday and long post I thought I would keep it short and sweet tonight.
The bookcase has gone to a new home via the local Buy, Swap, Sell page on Facebook. It is destined to be a storage unit in a new nursery. The lady is intending to get some wicker baskets to put on the shelves.
I am really pleased that it will be used and useful. Much better than cluttering up our home unnecessarily when someone else can benefit. Keep this in mind when you are trying to declutter things.

I am really frustrated with our local FB Buy swap, sell. Tried and tried to sell (and give away) lots of stuff with no luck. Same is said by friends who have tried. Might try looking further afield I think. Bay people seem to think we are out of the acceptable radius so I much prefer going local. Op shop does very well by us!
