June 8. One of my favorite days of the year. It’s the birthday of my sweetie. Lucky for her my scanner is not working properly this morning. I had a sweet picture to post. Come to think of it, perhaps it is lucky for me.
I am not a fan of the garage sale - hosting or attending. I have friends, and you know who you are, that physically cannot pass a garage sale without stopping.
I can remember my parents having a garage sale, during the time in which my room was in the garage (I’ll save that story for later) and though the sale of the century was to start at 9AM people were looking through the windows (of my bedroom) at 6AM. So my disinterest in garage sales may relate to some Post Traumatic Garage Sale Syndrome (PTGSS).
I’ve seen people going around on garbage day stopping and picking things up. Yes, it is possible to pick up a great find. The trash of one is truly the treasure of another. I don’t recall every doing such a thing until this morning.
Hi, my name is Randy and I stopped and picked up some items someone set out for the trash. It was a true moment of weakness. I couldn’t pass them up. They were really nice boxes.
So what’s the best garage sale item you’ve aquired? What’s the thing you sold at a garage sale for $2 only to see it on EBAY selling for $2,000?
AC FACT OF THE DAY:
