I attribute the Substack activity to my friend Kevin Sessums’ including me on his suggestions list, but the website is because I’ve been posting about the sale on Facebook and Instagram. And it has been working. The pieces above and below are among the work that has sold this week. Someone who came over and took a couple of plants has also staked a claim on a few things from my collection of antiques. So it’s begun, the big move preparation. There are plenty of things I need to do first. Taxes for one, and getting the cataract in my other eye taken care of. See the dentist and cardiologist. And maybe start thinking about what to do about my furniture, although I expect to be here through at least September. I’ve done this before. My Manhattan landlord paid me to move out of my rent-stabilized apartment in Soho. I’d lived there for more than thirty years, and he gave me six weeks to vacate. That was a mad scramble, I even tore up decades of journals. I’m not doing that again, I intend to pace myself. And keep posting about my studio sale everywhere I can. Check out my website www.maureenmccarron.com - I’ll make you a deal etc, etc, etc. As Kevin Sessums likes to say - Onward.
