I saw an ad on the subway for a company that helps people looking to do just this, sell unwanted but valuable furniture in NYC. I meant to write it down bec Ann wants me to get rid of my very expensive but enormous desk chair. Google it.

If I lived near you, I would snatch that table and the chairs! In fact, just owning anything that is yours would be a cherished experience.

Alas, I live in Michigan now and am thoroughly impoverished. I hope your table finds a new owner soon. Much love to you, Laura.

I mean, if it came with a guarantee, I could see driving up there to get it...
