I, on the other hand, have increased my stash of beautiful linens. I lucked out I think- someone should have snatched up those 3 towels long before. They are BEAUTIFUL! I really love the fine linen patterns- thank you so much, Wende. And I have my little robin's egg blue teacup sitting right where I use it each morning. BTW- you were too sunburned to write the Word? I hope not. Be careful! ___________________________________ <em>Not too sunburned, but too exhausted. I've not been writing about health stuff, because it's not a big deal and will resolve itself soon, I hope. But I'm so tired I've not taken a photo in over a week other than the quick shot of the yard sale sign. ~W</em> Yard sales are hard -but it feels good to get rid of all that stuff.

I just placed the ad this am..".Huge neighborhood garage sale, lots of antiques, and treasures......I added cash only and no early birds". Well, if I sell even half of this cr-p I will be happy to take the rest to the GW:) I just cannot stand the "dickering" over an ugly 50cent basket. Oh geeze, just take it already...thank you for the funny post. ___________________________________ <em>Oh, your sale sounds like something I would go to! :D It's funny, we didn't have that many people who would dicker with us... most seemed to either buy or walk away. ~W</em> Wow, now I know why I havn’t had a garage sale in about 10 years We are gearing up for it this Saturday.

And you are just as sweet as can be....I have to admit I was nervous introducing myself 'cause I tend to be a wee bit shy but you made it perfectly painless...it was one of the highlights of my day! Great sale, by the way....I only wish I could have made it there sooner and been the lucky one to purchase that "lovely" red bookcase/hutch...*sigh*...the treasure that got away. :-) ___________________________________ <em>Oh, don't fret about the hutch too much! I have a little secret. I learned a long time ago if I marked stuff as "sold" instead of "NFS" people don't spend all day trying to get me to sell the item! So, I haul out my red hutch because it's attractive, lightweight, and I usually need space to put stuff. But, it's still sitting in my pantry. (I sell it to myself at every sale.)... I've had people get really angry when they hear it's not for sale, that I just started marking it SOLD. Usually, IZ comes and gives me a dollar in the morning and says, "I'm buying your hutch." Heh.</em> <em>It was really great meeting you and Jeremiah.

I always tell people when they see me at yard sales...I have a hard time stopping to say hello and be totally chatty because usually I'm "working" It's fun...but I usually buy stuff to resale, so it's my little disclaimer. I've also met several people who "know" me through the blog, and it is a little awkward...one had turned out to be a dear friend though...lucky, lucky me! ___________________________________ <em>Heh... it was great.

I'm sorry you got burned. I do love red on the sign, tho and the chicks! Isn't it nice when you can get rid of junk and make a couple bucks?? AND spend the time with friends. I can't wait til next summer when I come out and I get to meet you....since we'll hopefully be there longer next year! Things won't be so crazy in ONE, TINY week. :) ___________________________________ <em>Oh, no worries. I've made those whirlwind trips, and it's never possible to fit everyone in!
