Dec 10, 2015

We went into town this morning to get haircuts and groceries, mundane errands, huh? But we drove by a garage sale just getting started so made a side stop. I still need to find some items to re-purpose into sewing room storage doubling as furniture. A great item presented itself in the form of a horizontal locker. It could be painted in the coastal color scheme and needed just a little work to firm it up for stability, had six drawers, perfect. No price, no one to ask so we browsed for a while until figuring out who was having the sale. Price was quoted, negotiation tried to no avail so browsing continued. Another find, my favorite, rayon damask table cloth and eight napkins, probably never used or little used as there was no wear, no stain but in a pile of “stuff”. Perfect for dyeing and repurposing. There was no price so search for owner(s), price quoted. One dollar, yes. Back to the storage unit, perhaps we can negotiate with the other owner. No, the price had even gone up, hmm. Friday offers more garage sales that boast linens and kayaks and furniture. Maybe we’ll get lucky.
