I really love garage and yard sales. People have such interesting things they want to get rid of. There are places online like Kijiji and Craigslist that makes the items a bit more accessible to find and buy but it takes the fun out of going to a garage sale.
This past weekend, my neighbourhood had a community garage/yard sale. Over 30 houses placed items on their driveway and lawn for their neighbours to peruse and buy. My family decided to join the fun, and it certainly was fun.
For a total of $22.60, we got:
- a lawn mower
- a shelf with CD rack
- rollers for the fridge/stove
- a glass lantern
- a few decorative glasses and ceramics
- a few books
I was extra excited about the shelf. I turned it into a display case for the origami and other paper crafts that I've made over the last few years. They finally have a home. There are a few shelves left. I guess I should continue filling up the shelf.
