The Season Has Started

Spring has at last arrived and everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather. They are also busy cleaning out thier homes and garages. Yes, this is the time of the year when garage sales pop up on almost every block in suburbia.

Truthfully, I never bought anything at a garage sale until I moved out of New York City and found myself in a leafy suburb in New Jersey. My husband and I used to frequent the downtown antique markets in NYC on many nice weekends, but these days, I find myself exploring garage sales solo-or with friends. Many men don't enjoy garage sales, that is until you find something they like! I am saying this not only from my experience, but from many women I have met venturing out on early weekend mornings.
My blog will be about my garage sale adventures. Who I meet, what I learn from them and of course, what I find. I'll explore estate sales as well as fundraising sales. I'll share buying (and selling!) tips with you. I'll discuss sales that I have just happened upon, only to find something really great-usually for my kids :)

It is truly amazing what people actually sell and even more so, what they buy. Stay tuned, you're truly in for a bumpy ride :)
