A Virtual Yard Sale
I’m truly, finally, packing up our stuff and moving it onto the boat. The piles tend to wither, and then get sorted through again, wither some more, and then we’re down to the bare minimum. I’ve done this with our books and we have just a few we still find ourselves attached to. Baby stuff seems to be the other thing I hold onto. Hence the virtual yardsale- more to come, I’m sure, but this is what I have so far.
If any our our dear blog/Facebook friends have interest in these titles, we’d love to pass them along-
The Capable Cruiser by Lin and Larry Pardey. We have both read it cover to cover. This is the 1994 edition, without a dust jacket, in near-perfect shape.
Cruising the Florida Keys by Claiborne Young. The 2002 edition, a great guide to anchorages. We just don’t need it anymore. Coming south? Want it?
Understanding Rigs and Rigging by Richard Henderson. John has read this a million times. It’s a great resource and now that we have our rig, we just don’t need it!
Learning at Home by Marty Layne. I loved this book- really inspiring, written by a mom to 4 who homeschooled her kiddoes. I’ve made my mental notes and am ready to pass it on.
How Children Learn by John Holt. Another homeschooling classic I’ve read and need to send someone’s way.
I also have 6 Kissaluvs Contour diapers, 100% cotton, with some staining (that will sun out, I’m sure), in rainbow pastel colors! These are super cute and were some of the first diapers I bought for Sophie. They just need a cover on top- let me know if any of my mamas, mamas-to-be (and grandmamas-to-be) want them. All I ask is that you cover shipping (ten bux or so?).
Just leave me a comment or send me an email (erlandrum@gmail.com) to claim your prize. I’m sure there will be more soon . . . thanks for reading!
I would LOVE to have any cloth diapers or diaper covers you may still have. And I insist on paying for them. Or maybe trading for soap?
Love you guys!
But wait … all mamas and mamas-to-be should have priority over this grandma-to-be. Send them to the mamas first, Ellen.
Huzzah for moving aboard!! I’d love to read Holt, but you can’t get that to Mexico unless you hand-deliver it.
Are you selling a bunch of stuff locally? One thing that worked really well for us I want to share- when we emptied our house to move on, I used Flickr photos of items…included that link whenever/wherever they were posted for sale. I found that people looking for one tended to browse the photos for more… it worked better than I ever expected.
KSue- my friend Meg claimed them quick as a wink for her 4-month old, Juniper (best name EVER), but I have more and I’m saving them for the wee Riddle. Behan, thankfully we don’t own any furniture (we’ve rented a furnished place for the past few years) and are down to the little stuff. In fact, this time next week we should be ON THE BOAT. It’s awesome.
Hi Ellen! Has the homeschooling book been claimed yet? I know France is a bit far to ship it – maybe I could pay for shipping? Or we could ship it to my mom in VT. I’ve read the Holt and loved it….going to read it again, in fact, thanks for the reminder!
I would love to do a trade! Even if the book isn’t available anymore, we could figure out an exchange, maybe?!
Sarah- I did pass on the homeschooling book to a boatschooling friend (Zach Aboard- the link is on our page and they are an inspiring bunch, I tell you!). But I will definitely keep you in mind as I read and email when I have some trades!
