How does one

...pare down a collection?

It took me a long time to get over my pack rat mentality. I save everything. But I am out of room. I was out of room two years ago. I'm trying to reclaim what was once just a pencil box of stamps on my desk. It's turned into 11 Iris carts and other misc. storage containers. Boxes of supplies everywhere. And there are two desks now. In case one desk gets so messy, I have to use the other one. Heck, sometimes, I stamp on my bed or on the floor!

So, I am taking the plunge, I'm getting rid of stamps I actually still like. And magazines. And ink pads. Here are the stamps I'm selling. Email me at heystamplady at yahoo DOT com if you want the prices. I didn't add any pricing to the stuff I uploaded today. I'm also selling all my Adirondack pads. You can look up the colors at Ranger. I'm selling them all for $3 each except for the pitch black (I'm keeping that- I need lots of black dye ink pads, apparently :). The pads are still very juicy. I take paypal (existing funds or instant transfer only).

And here's a list of magazines for sale.
