I love(d) my mom with all that is within me but I didn't love the cookie jars. My suggestion is to give the art cart to a family with small children or a daycare centre.

You never know and, given the uncertainty about getting rid of it all, I'd keep it a while longer. As virtuous as it is, de-cluttering can be very compulsive.

I think you and the big O, for starters, certainly are. If you weren't, you would not be taking down so much christmas stuff today. see? Artistic and crafty. Plus, the art cart tucks so neatly into that corner. And is that an entrepreneur of the year sign behind it? Oliver?
