Well, the marble slab sounds nice. And I have a weakness for old yogurt containers. I get the feeling we can get that slap reeeeeal cheap if we just move the dang thing.
COBE! Throw it out! She'll never know! And if she does, who cares!
(I am showing my true not-so-nice side here.)

When we moved out here, we hired some high school football players. Big ol' boys. They were very strong, but had lousy aim going through doorways. We did get pros for the grand piano. The worst thing to move was the books, which I'm sure you know.. although I've never tried to carry a marble slab.

I think there's bellbottom pants, and leather jackets with fringe, and tight leather skirts, and stiletto heel shoes, and fruitboots (you're too young to remember those, but I think Austin Powers wears them) and dresses like Marilyn Monroe wore, only with rhinestones.

And I've also come to the sorrowful parting of the ways with a lot of baby stuff, which I would gladly ship to you but I don't think it would be cost effective. An adorable little wooden slide, but it would cost a fortune to ship. Wooden blocks to die for - again, a fortune to ship and they need to be sanded, the kids drew on them. I love those blocks. I think the set cost $300 15 years ago, I bought them at a going-out-of-business sale, another casualty of Toys'r'Us. We don't have a basement where we are moving. How can I get rid of my blocks? And bags and bags full of stuffed animals. And baby books. All of Dr. Seuss.

Little Tykes everything - sand turtle, baby pool.

The most adorable wooden wagon that a kid can push while standing up and it won't tip over. Imported from England. It's for the grandkids, I can't give it up.
