Back when I lived in the San Diego area, I would often see "Garage Sale" signs on the weekends. Not so in our new town. Here the sales begin on Thursday and continue through the weekend. But that's not all. I get the feeling that they are a social event in our neighborhood. I know this for a fact. I had a garage sale soon afte we moved to this house in an attempt to get rid of many unwanted items. Not only was it a success but we made some friends at the same time. A couple with kids stoped by and stayed for around two hours, just chatting with us. Another neighbor stayed for about half hour and many others stayed around for a while too.
Around a month ago, my mother, who lives a few blocks away, had a garage sale too. I went over to help and the same thing happened. Three different people came by and each stayed at least one to two hours.
That being said, I have to share with you a wonderful find that I came upon on a Thursday morning during one of my walks.
This beautiful chair is one of two that I purchased at a garage sale for $10.00 each. They are made by Nichols & Stone and new, they sell for around $395.00 each. All in all, a real bargain. I just love them.
