Last weekend hubby and I took part in our community's garage sale. It's a great chance to catch up with the neighbours, have them snoop through your possessions, hear the latest gossip, you know, all those things hubby loves so much.
The weather wasn't the greatest, but there were enough people around. We got rid of a tonne of junk, but we still have a buttload more. Because the weather was so crappy we'll probably have one more before we ship the stuff off to the Sally. Being a lover of garbage sales myself, I really don't mind hanging out for an afternoon getting rid of 'treasure'. I don't think hubby will join me again. Although he is talking about adding two of our living room chairs, a futon, coffee table and end tables... we'll have no furniture left!
The weirdest thing was the reaction people had to our casset tapes. People were crazy for them. We ended up getting rid of over half of them. Alice Cooper? Gone. Styx? Gone. Megadeth? Gone. Zeppelin? Gone. C'mon people, what are you going to do with those? Do you even have tape players anymore?
I've never understood putting that much effort into proving you're a fan of anything. I'm lazy that way.
It would be cool to have a neighborhood garage sale. Hmmmm....
Glad to hear you guys still did well at the yard sale despite the ugly weather. Can you imagine how well you will do the next time, providing the sun is out. Don't worry about not having any furniture...that just gives you a reason to buy new furniture....how fun!!!!
