Thank you for sharing Donald and your beautiful flowers!
I'm not one for yard sales, but when the kids were little my mother-in-law used to find items for them that she would keep at her house so they'd have special toys there when they visited!
Thank you, Jill, for your lovely flowers and adorable Donald. Glad to hear your yard sale was a success. I haven't been to a yard sale for a long time and was a shopper when I did.
Ok, my favorite journal so far is the one that said "to do, Get out of bed" :) That made me laugh. As far as yard sales go, I've done several and shopped at many more! We sold over $6000 worth of stuff when we left Burbank for Arizona in 99. My husband was a collector.;) That included an antique truck that had to be flat bedded away. We tried to sell what my daughter had extra from her apartment but were in not the best location in our park so we ended up donating most of it. I had enough for both of us when I moved here. I still shop thrift stores when I can get to one. Don't get out for yard sales anymore but love Craigslist for fantastic finds. I got the WW magazine yesterday and already read your story. Loved it so much.
Donald is such a friendly gal! Your WW story was perfect for summertime with the taffy sweet shop theme. Glad your garage sale was a success. In the past, we’ve had garage sales before moving, but didn’t this last time. I believe our new community has one once a year in a big parking lot. I need to keep that in mind. Thanks for sharing your pretty rescue plants!
Donald is so adorable 🙂 Don’t get me started on garage or yard sales ... lol. I’ve never been a seller although I contributed to a garage sale where the proceeds went to help a community member. I’ve definitely been to them. They’re a big deal back home. My mom was always having a yard sale, trying to get rid of her stuff. Now she gives her stuff to a neighbor who holds a huge yard sale every year. Occasionally people in my neighborhood have yard sales and cars line the streets. I avoid them now. I already have too much stuff 😉
The last garage sale I held was a fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association. I received donated items, and lots of books, from our neighbors and other family members. I advertised the sale and people were waiting outside a half hour b4 the advertised sale time. It was a huge success, but what amazed me is that very few books were purchased. I ended up boxing them up and dropping them off at the local Half Price Books store. Here I thought they would be the draw for the garage sale.
I always went to yard sales until I got on a walker .Now its a lot of trouble to get in and out of the car.I go to thrift stores.We used to supplement our social security doing yard sales with a group of seniors on Friday and Saturday but my husbands copd got worse so we had to quit.
Congrats on the success of a garage sale. It’s a good way to meet the neighbors! I am too “lazy” to put on my own, but will pop into garage sales from time to time.

Another lucky winner - yard sales are the best, but I haven't been to one in a while. I'm sure there will be many around here during the fall!
HI Jill, we don't have garage sales here, but it sounds like a good idea from what I understand they are.
I adore yard sales, and have stopped and shopped most of my adult life! thanks for the chance to win, Jill! Hope you are keeping cool!
a shopper
I use to love to have yard sales & go to them. Often I was more to catch up with friends & neighbors & less about selling or buying.

I had no idea purslane had flowers! I thought it was just a weed! I've been yanking it out of the cracks between our brick garden walk.
Good morning, Jill! Yes, our community of just 65 homes years ago had a community sale, better than one for just one household.

It's been a while, but I used to go garage selling all the time (mostly looking for books!), and I have done several of my own as well.
