my children feel differently. their little blue eyes light up like skee ball at chuck e cheese when anyone in our neighborhood starts to fill tables on their driveway. i gave in the first few times and let them take a quarter to snag some loot. but garage sales became off-limits when they came home with a black garbage bag full of urine-scented stuffed animals and a small collection of spanish war knives. wow, treasures.
last weekend the nice lady up the street decided it was time to redecorate her house. no sense in throwing away perfectly good faded silk flowers...surely someone would snatch them up at only $2 a vase!
and who wouldn't love a picture frame from "aruba"?! i mean, now i don't need to go all the way there to buy the souvenir myself! awesome...
last time i checked, none of my daughters were named "andrea". but maybe she wants to try it out...before she makes it official, you know.
it's about time for us to have a garage sale and unload all these fantastic finds to other bargain shoppers!!
ewwwwww (urine filled animals, red silk flowers?)!!!! so funny! have fun with that
ReplyDeleteThose look like things your children would also get from a certain someone, intending it to be a personal, thoughtful gift. Maybe when you have your garage sale they will come buy them back yes?
ReplyDeleteY'all clearly need some garage sale-ing pointers! ha ha ha! Nice finds... ;)
ReplyDeletewhat you mean you don't want to hoard everything incase you might have a use for it someday??? Hah! I feel you on the junk. I hate the pack rat mentality and I like garage sales for baby clothes and that's about it. I hope the treasures get boring pretty soon! :)
