A garage sale

It's taken me quite awhile to talk myself in to it. I'm having a garage sale on June 18. . . 14 years of accumulation. Like most people, I've got things that are too good to throw away but they are things I don't use anymore. When I started thinking about everything, I realized I have well over $1000 worth of stuff so even if I don't sell everything, it will be worth my effort.

It makes me dizzy just thinking of gathering everything together, cleaning what needs to be cleaned/washed, pricing it. . . I'm going to have to enlist friends or neighbors to come over during the day to give me a potty break!

Here's a partial list of what I've chosen to include. The list gets longer the more I think about it or walk through my basement or back yard shed to see what's there.

Noritake china, Sylvia pattern. Service for 12 with serving bowls/platters
Canondale comfort bike with shock absorbers
Mad River kevlar solo canoe with cane seats
cast iron griddle
several coffee makers
small crockpot
several small, decorative flower pots
tons and tons of books
various cases (brief case types, duffels)
several old framed crewel embroidery pictures
several pieces of fabric that I never made into clothes
several framed pictures

I posted on facebook last night and wow did that draw dozens of comments! One of the first things I was asked was what about camping gear. Yes, there is a lot of camping gear - some things I still use, others I don't. But I'm saving those items for my grandsons.

Wish me luck!
