'Tis the season for garage sales in Eagan. Need some clothes, a lamp, a picture, how about an old stroller? See the cashier under the red umbrella to checkout.
It looks very much like there are 3 IKEA lamps to the right. ;-) ??? Anyway, it is a good idea to have these sales from time to time. I sometimes donate to "Fretex" (Salvation Army), and their shops can have some really valuable and interesting stuff. Here it is trendy with retro and vintage both for young and old.
I like going to garage sales. My daughter was supposed to have one last weekend, but ended up selling everything she had on Craig's list so she cancelled the garage sale!
I used to go to car boot sales, in the UK (too wet there for garage sales, I suppose). I found a few good things, but never the BIG thing that every museum would fight for. But yeah, looks like a lot of fun!
Garage sales are fun. You can find many things completely useless things, but also a lot of good stuff. I usually go to the Red Cross sales whenever I need new stuff for the kitchen or albums made by long forgotten music stars. It's great fun!
We dont do yard sales in Greece, people are too proud, it would be considered very embarassing to sell your thing. They'd better throw them away in garbage, which is such a waste... Many times I have thought about it, me and people around me have things that we do not want. It would be so usefull. I give clothes and cutlery to charity, and other things to the woman who cleans in my work: she is from Georgia and sends it there.
We really do not do these over here in England, cannot ever recall seeing one. That said I think it is a really good idea. I am moving house at the moment and I have stuff I do not need but feel it is wrong to just throw it away.
Thanks for your sassy, funny, clever, serious or encouraging comment! Tack sa mycket, merci beaucoup, vielen Dank, domo arigato, grazie mille, tusen takk, ansante sana, terima kasih, obrigado, Dank U wel, kiitos paljon!
I was bit by a foreign travel bug after my sophomore year in high school. I haven't found a cure for it, nor do I plan to. I visited India for 5 weeks in early 2009 and Europe in July 2009. My family and I spent 1 month in Sweden, Norway and Denmark in July 2010. In January 2012, I went to the foothills of the Himalayan mountains and a wedding in Jaipur, India. Then in May 2012, I returned to Japan and Bangkok, Thailand. My family and I spent 3 weeks in Paris, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany in August 2012.
How much for the bench under the tree?

ReplyDeleteHello Leif,
ReplyDeleteGarage sales are fun. You can find many things completely useless things, but also a lot of good stuff. I usually go to the Red Cross sales whenever I need new stuff for the kitchen or albums made by long forgotten music stars. It's great fun!
Have a good weekend!
Cheers,

I like Garage sales a lot. Here, they are just being introduced, and most of them are announced through word-of-mouth or on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteso did you collect anything ?
ReplyDeleteWe had one of these recently...good chance to clean up and earn some pocket money! There certainly looks like there was plenty to look at here.

What lemon says applies perfectly to Italy: too easy and practical for our contorted minds...
ReplyDeleteGarage sales a BIG here too...but not today because of the threat of rain. Maybe next week though!
