Is it warm in here or does everyone just have Garage Sale FEVER?!
And I do believe it's contagious.
Since my email distribution of the FSF Garage Sale flyer
the offers for goods have been pouring in.
In addition to the reclaimed treasure I've had handed over
I've been given several leads on bake sale sweets and treats that already have me in a mental boggle - and I don't use
the b word lightly. Our very own Soho Bakery & Cafe
proprietor is thinking of whipping up something in the
cinnamon rolls and scones categories - I'm flabbergasted.
I've also had a case of bottled water donated for our
refreshment table.
Here are a few of the treasures you will find at the sale
(while supplies last):
Who can resist the clackity-clack of a classic typewriter?
No, it's not a bicycle built for two - it's two bicycles
two perfect grape colored bicycles.
This last item is something I'm personally throwing into the ring. It's a 2T (toddler sized) puffy vest
with the FREAKING SOLAR SYSTEM on it. My niece
wore this maybe once - I've held on to it for years
(she's eight now) - not because of any special
memory, but because it is "cool" beyond words.
We all need to be rescued from our clutter - here is just a
glimpse of some of the stuff that FSF members are no
longer burdened by:
Keep your eye on the prize,
This is the easy way out of the things
that are always bringing you down.
This week - search deep within yourself and
determine if you will ever return to any of those
hobbies you may have abandoned. I personally try
about 5 new hobbies a year, most of them don't
stick,but I'm glad I made a go of it and learned
something in the process.
Garage sales are the perfect place to relieve yourself
of any:
rock tumblers
wood burning kits
odd assortments of felt and pipe cleaners
clay working tools
sewing items
candle making gear
fly fishing loot
etc. etc.
