Right in the middle of real life, I’ve been getting ready for my moving sale, which I’ve set for this coming Friday and Saturday, February 11 and 12th. So, if you are in the Birmingham area and want to stop by, please email me at [email protected] for all the info and directions. I’d love for all of you to stop by who can! Sale will start at 8 a.m. on Friday and the same on Saturday.
As you know, I have LOTS of great stuff. And it is just stuff. Don’t feel bad that I’m paring down. It will be less to move and I really don’t need to hang onto all of this anyway.
Besides, I will want to go thrifting again at some point. 🙂
I’ve enjoyed it all and now I’d like to pass it along to another good home. 
Glassware
Fruit Dishes from Macy’s. I’ve had these awhile and hardly ever use them, since I have several other sets, so I’m hoping someone will want this beautiful set of dishes. I’m not selling things dirt cheap, but it will be fair prices. I’m asking $150 for this complete set of 10, plus serving pieces. 
Lightweight wall hanging. 
Set of 3 botanicals.
Glass front cabinet came from Homegoods.
Entertainment center and TV.
Lots of small accessories.
Vintage dresser and mirror. UPDATE: Friends from church came by and this piece is sold now. 
End table. This is sold too!
Glass console table and lots more stuff.
UPDATE: Black sleigh bed is sold too.
This black queen sleigh bed will be sold, as well as other things in this room, like a black nightstand and chest of drawers. Several accessories in here too. The room has changed from this pic, but there’s plenty that I can sell in here. 
UPDATE: Toile drapes are sold.
I’m going to sell my toile drapery panels. I have 2 pair of these (one in the dining room) and it’s time to send them to a new home. If I happen to not sell them at my moving sale and some of you might be interested in them, I will ship these. I’m asking $100 per pair, or $200 for both pair, which I think you’d agree is a good price for custom made lined panels. My mom made these for me and they are well made. 
That chest of drawers on the left will also be in the sale. It’s an antique piece, so I’m not going to sell it dirt cheap either. I think I put $150 on it. 
This lamp and end table and most accessories will be in the sale. Lamp is sold! 
This king bed will be sold, along with box spring and mattress and the damask bedding. I’ve enjoyed this room, but don’t mind passing it on. Many accessories in here will be sold too, including the lamps.
Whatever is not sold in this first sale, I will carry over to another sale in March. I’ve got quite a lot of Christmas stuff that I’m going to sell too and since my display space is limited, I can’t even get it all out right now. I’ve also got garden and outdoor stuff to sell, probably some now and some later.
Believe me, I’ve got plenty left to move and I won’t even miss all of this. I’m saving my favorite things and still have more than enough to keep.
I know there’s been a lot of curiosity on what in the world is going on and believe me, I understand. From the searches I’ve been getting on my search engine, Israel and husband have gotten quite a few hits over the last week, along with the first Israel post that I decided to take down. Since my plans have changed, it seemed best to just take that first post down.
Let me just tell you this. Whatever your speculation might be, you all have absolutely no idea of the tangled web that is behind the scenes of my situation. It is much more complicated than you can possibly imagine and I just cannot share all of that right now, but perhaps one day I will. Do I know the future and what all is going to happen? Absolutely not. But, one thing I do know. My God is in control and He is the one I will listen to.
See that scripture over there on my sidebar? ——-> the one that says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding”. Well, that absolutely is my life verse and the one that I continue to cling to. He has my best interest at heart and He knows the best path for me to take and that I will stand on firmly and strongly. My Lord is good, ALL the time. Even in trials and chaos, His grace is sufficient for me.
So, as I remove myself from the chaos that I’ve been in and go home to my parents, I still ask for your continued prayers as I walk the path that is before me. Trusting the Lord and not my own understanding.
He has always, always seen me through and He will not leave me now, that I know for certain.

Wishing you the Best …
omg Rhoda, all those beautiful things, I would love to go! Hey, San Jose isn’t that far from Birmingham, right? 😀
Your faith is inspiring…thinking of you and wishing you well:)
Abby
Rhoda, my heart hurts for what you are going through but your faith is amazing and our Good Lord will see you through it all. When you get back to Marietta, I’d love to meet you in person and show you around several good places to shop. I hope we can get together once you get settled here. I read your blog daily so I am keeping up with you and your progress. My prayers are with you.
Rhoda: I have enjoyed your blog and been inspired by your beautiful home. But, I understand how life changes. God will be with you, and I will keep you in my prayers. I can’t make it to Birmingham (as much as I would like to), but I live in Atlanta, so if you end up having a sale once you move, I’ll be there! Hang tight to your faith. God is good!
So glad that even though you don’t know what the future holds, you do know the One who holds your future in His hands.
Rhoda,
I know you recognize they are just things…and will move in that the most important things in life are NOT things. In the meantime, may God give you the strength you need to make it through this difficult time. Praying for you friend.
We don’t need to know what’s going on with you to be able to see how strong and brave you are. I admire your faith and I’m glad it is a comfort to you during this difficult time. I hope you find the peace you deserve.
And on a lighter note, I am glad I don’t live closer to you because I see tons of stuff that I would buy at your sale! Good luck with it!
I think you have great strength, Rhoda. In times of trouble, I always cling to “He leadeth me beside the still waters; He restoreth my soul.” This too shall pass. Wishing you love and peace.
Dear Rhoda…I cannot imagine how hard this must be for you. I know you love your home and took much care in decorating it. I always enjoyed seeing the neat things that you did all by yourself. You are an inspiration to me. That said, things are just things and there are more important things in life that money cannot buy. Will be praying for you as you make this big move.
Rhoda,
Just letting you know you remain in my thoughts and prayers! Praying for strength for you as you adjust to the changes in your life.
You have some beautiful stuff! I will be in Tuscaloosa on Thursday visiting student teachers….wish I had set these times up for Friday. LOL
Good luck with the sale. I look forward to continuing to read your blog, and wish you the very best!
Your testimony and your faith is an inspiration!
Cheering you on the sidelines. I know your load will feel lighter after your sales. xo
If only I lived within driving distance! I would so come shopping at your house. 🙂 Good luck on selling everything.
Rhoda, I haven’t been following long, so I have no idea what’s going on, but I admire your faith that God is in control, whatever may come. That is a hard lesson to learn. From comments above, I see you will be moving to Marietta area. I live in Acworth, so would love to meet you and/or come to your sale if you decide to have one after you move. Praying for you!
Rhoda, you have so many beautiful things to sell and I know you will feel lighter when all of it is sold to good homes. I live in Woodstock, GA, but I have a good friend whose family lives in Birmingham….she and I just might need to make the trip over there! Still lifting you to the Lord!
I wish you joy and happiness with every step you take.
Best of luck with your sale. You’re so right it’s just stuff. You will be thrifting again in no time.
Hugs ~ Dee
Keep your chin up and your eyes on the Lord. May God bless you
You are truly an inspiration, even through this difficult time you have such a positive outlook & sweet spirit. God will see you through & provide the strength you need. I have been following you for a long time & just want to let you know you have been on my heart & are in my prayers daily. Hugs….
Rhoda, I’m so sorry you are going through a difficult time. I’ll be praying for you and only wish you the very best. Hugs, Michelle
