To Garage Sale Or Not To Garage Sale

You would think based on the calendar that June should have arrived, but looking out my window this morning Mother Nature begs to differ. Rain, rain and more rain!

Nonetheless it is June, which  makes me excited because Garage Sale Season is HERE! Typically I am strictly a garage sale shopper. I have held my own garage sales in the past and they have been, I guess, what you would call "successful." Not mega cha-ching money makers, but they did help me off-load, and make room for, more treasures.

This season I find myself contemplating whether to hold a garage sale again. We have an impending transition and it wouldn't hurt to free ourselves from some of the stuff we have acquired.

There is something invigorating about sitting outside all day, bartering, pricing and chatting with neighbors that makes having your own garage sale fun. And, I guess, I would get rid of some of my unwanted items.

I don't know. I usually get rid of my unwanted items on Craigslist or Freecycle. That method typically works. But there is just something about hunkering down in a low-slung lawn chair that sounds tantalizing to me.

Maybe I need your help. Do you think a garage sale is worth it?

Thrift Like A Pro

Hi Everyone! I am so honored to be over at Final Clothes Out today sharing with fellow bargain huntress Paige and her friends how I successfully outfitted my son’s entire nursery with second-hand finds with a budget of $300. I did it through what I like to call intentional thrifting.

Changing Table From Yard Sale: $40

Nightlight From Antique Fair: $10

Crib From Yard Sal: $50.00
Bed Skirt From Thrift STore: $2.00
