As long as one does not overcompensate by storing the accumulation of new acquaintances in ones empty garage.<br /><br />I once made $900 at a two-day table sale (we call them garage or yard sales). It was epic. Alas, the basement needs clearing again, and not because it is full of friends.Nib's Endhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820552995581749771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-25018632387249944652015-07-12T08:28:07.802+01:002015-07-12T08:28:07.802+01:00I agree completely.I agree completely.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038836502384520598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-70735689125079329942015-07-07T20:27:39.873+01:002015-07-07T20:27:39.873+01:00Rats, sinking ship, etc. I suppose next thing you&...Rats, sinking ship, etc. I suppose next thing you'll be flogging off my chaise longue.

I couldn't manage this though as no one ever comes past us. We are the end of a road high up on a hillside. It is one of the beauties of the place and one of its disadvantages too. I have an urge to rid myself of masses of accumulated paperwork but the weather is so lovely I can't bear to be inside. I strongly suspect that when I am inside again the urge will have passed!Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-87585900172200017172015-07-03T08:40:45.921+01:002015-07-03T08:40:45.921+01:00I am very impressed. we decluttered a bit, everyth...I am very impressed. we decluttered a bit, everything is still stuffed in the garage...............driftwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11416170414524297337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-17016584109441478852015-07-02T23:44:45.749+01:002015-07-02T23:44:45.749+01:00Lucille, sounds as if your garage clear out had lo...Lucille, sounds as if your garage clear out had lots of layers of positive results.

Alas, we live in a cul-de-sac with five houses, one of which is occupied only on occasional weekends, so no passing trade would materialise. <br /><br />Love the baby on the sand!Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/12641269043817163165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-10504333659448679802015-07-02T18:08:50.060+01:002015-07-02T18:08:50.060+01:00That looks exhausting, well done for doing it thou...That looks exhausting, well done for doing it though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
