davidd’s A DOLL A DAY 2022

The Novi Stars were such an interesting line, but not super versatile, from what I recall.

The Novi Stars were made of a hard plastic and had limited articulation, with joints only at the shoulders and hips, with a limited range of movement at the neck. One arm was molded in a bent-elbow position. They were cute and odd, but they actually cost more than the Monster High line they were designed to compete with, while offering less "play value" in a smaller size figure.

Yes, I am trying to work more on letting go of things that no longer serve me as well. At the moment I am completely stalled with Dad‘s stamp collection because I was going to inquire about selling it but looking through all the stamps, they are really cool. So tonight I am sticking stamps in albums instead of doing something else. I started a little “course” on decluttering… We’ll see how much help that is.
I hope your Novi Stars end up with someone who really appreciates them. They must do, to spend that much! 
Would love to see this lot before you put them up for sale. never mind, found em   every once in a while I think I would grab an Anne Arctic if I saw her cheap. Which isn’t likely.

I have a difficult time letting go of things that belonged to my parents and grandparents. Additionally, while the things I have from them have a lot of sentimental value, very little of it has any significant monetary value. Hard as it is to admit, most of it simply isn't worth selling.

I see that Anne Arctic, whom I never had, is one of the "scarce" releases that commands a high price on the secondary market -- considerably more than her "hot" sister Ina Ferna!

A 'course' on decluttering? An online course, I hope, so the course materials not add to the clutter! 

That said, I recommend the book Clutter's Last Stand by Don Aslett. I have read a lot of decluttering books over the years, and Aslett's first decluttering book stands out as the most practical and the funniest!
