Parting is such sweet sorrow...

When you feel like your little house is bursting at the seams,
and you're tripping over all your thrift store finds,
there is only one thing to do...
Have the mother of all carport sales.
My motto...buy low, sell lower.










The lounger and loungee were not for sale.



Wow, that was a lot of work!
It may have cured my habit for awhile.
Maybe.
Probably not.

  4. Sorry Barbara, we had the sale for two weekends and donated what was left. Oops. Probably should have posted this before the sale.

  10. How can you be so cruel?! ;o) If I hadn't just bagged two midcentury lamps for ten bucks I'd be sobbing!

    of us.

  14. Wow, that really was the mother of all sales! I see a few things I would have bought. My parents had chairs like the one the kitty is sitting on. I took one with me to my first apartment, and threw it out when I moved. I don't think any of us have gotten over it....

  15. You know, I could've lived the rest of my life without reading this post . . . but you hadda go and refer me to it on MY blog! I hope you made lots of money because you were selling some incredible stuff--how you could get rid of that gorgeous wood folding chair is beyond me. And all those green planters! Well, if you could let all that stuff go, I guess I can do the same. Thanks for the encouragement!!

  18. I agree with all the above comments! I would have pee'd my pants if I stumbled across your sale...the ATM wouldn't have known what hit it! If this is the "overflow" I can't imagine what treasures you kept! Good Lordy!

  20. We closed our mid-century booth at an antique mall, and we're about to have a big backyard blowout too. It hadn't occurred to me to post about it on my blog, but maybe I should. Hope yours was a big success.
