There are times when we just need to step back and wait, or get involved in other interests. <br /><br />As for garage sale tips, the best one I can offer is, Don't have one! (hehe) My last one was probably four or five years ago and I said never again. Too much work; not enough profit. Maybe that's a testimony to the worthlessness of my stuff.

Be prepared to donate the "leftovers." <br /><br />With our neighborhood yard sale a few years ago, we had Salvation Army come through around 3pm. The yard sale was essentially over by then. Anything anyone didn't want to drag back inside was left on the curb for the SA. If you were there when they came through, you got a receipt for your "schtuff" ..... but, if you plan on using it as an IRS deduction, you need to itemize (the little red kodak will come in handy here). <br /><br />So, that's my idea ...... <br /><br />Cheers!Annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-16565484980505876702011-06-04T14:56:03.046-04:002011-06-04T14:56:03.046-04:00Happy Birthday to Sir Lotsa Hair!!

I've only been doing this since February, and I run out of steam sometimes. I have so many ideas for posts, but can't seem to find the time to do them as quickly as I'd like.<br /><br />Thanks for leaving the sweet comments on my blog today -- I'm so glad you liked the post and the table. I always look forward to your visits and your comments. Take care and try to stay "in the pink".<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />DeniseDenise at Forest Manorhttp://houseatforestmanor.blogspot.com/2011/06/memorial-day-tribute-table.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-28909767758930037742011-06-03T21:14:20.335-04:002011-06-03T21:14:20.335-04:00I am laughing and imagining this 'menopausal m...I am laughing and imagining this 'menopausal maniac purging the attic in the summer time' - ouch - not a pretty picture.
