The Great Canadian Sell-Off.....or, gettin rid of some stuff..

Since I really want to move farther down-Island, and will probably never find a place as large as the one I'm in, I decided to stop my pack-rat ways, gather up that which I know other pack-rats crave, and do my first flea market in close to 35 years...yep, it's been that long .. since I sold at one, not bought at one..an outdoor one, that is..
I have sold at indoor type collectible sales, etc. But this is gonna be an old Fashioned Garage Sale (as they ar calling it, strangely, no garages involved), an adjunct to the annual "Show and Shine" here in Ladysmith, where the only main street is shut down to traffic and lots of people show up, from all over Vancouver Island and the Mainland, as well as (I've heard) people from the States, probably Washington...
And no, I am not buying anything (unless of coure, it's practically free, something I can't possibly live without, etc!)
I'm also going alone, so that is really the best strategy to keep me from wandering around, looking for bargains..
If I end up cheating and buying anything, I'll share next week!
To all of you garage sailing this weekend, good luck, and if you are in the neighborhood, well c'mon, down!

  1. Good luck at your non-garage garage sale! Hope you have great weather, many sales, and maybe even find a few cool bargains yourself!

  2. You know, I have not been shopping at a garage sale since 1992. I did help my friend a couple of years ago give one at her house. I too am sort of downsizing or whatever slowly. If something gets broken I am almost happy, lol, and I dont' replace it. When you get older less is more I have found when it comes to cleaning and maintaining and dusting all of your crap.
