Awesome! Congrats on a successful sale. Every penny counts and when you are selling stuff that would otherwise go to the garbage, there is nothing wrong with that. Hope the rest of the days go as well :).

Congrats to your family on a successful sale! As my aunt used to say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasures. Cliche but true!

DO NOT reconsider your position on junk – I assure you, you’ll be happier without it.

You have very shiny hair. I’m a little jealous.

After years of helping my mom (another major pack rat) with her garage sales, I can tell you that Thursdays are by far the busiest days.

Hello, I am glad to hear that the garage sale was such a success. I agree it must have been the location. If I lived in the US I would haggle with Bethany Actually over the “Modern America Book”, that would be a fascinating read and I love the graphics. I collect old books too, I have more books than sense and I dread what my house will be like when I’m in my 80′s. My husband is just as bad.

I think most famillies are just as bad at hoarding stuff, so don’t feel bad. It can be a good feeling to read the same book as a much loved departed family member and have shared the same thoughts. I get a blast that our cut glass lemon juicer belonged to my grandmother in the 1920′s. I never got to meet her so it’ s a sort of connection. Yep I’m a pack rat.
