It's fun to watch a pro at work.

Today the lady doing my estate sale and her assistant started arranging things for the sale.  It was amazing.  All the stacks of stuff that have been accumulating on every floor space for three weeks now are being transformed into attractive arrangements of similar items: blankets neatly stacked by size on the bed, dolls arranged on the sofa, pricey dolls in my corner cupboard, etc.  It's all very fascinating.  Not done yet, three days before the sale, but I feel so much more encouraged.  It didn't hurt that, as I was working on sorting through the last few areas, I could overhear comments like "Oh, look at this.", "This is nice>" and "Isn't this cute." It gives me hope that at least some of my stuff will sell.
