Garage Sales

Josh and I started going to garage sales our first summer together, furnishing most of our apartment with dirt-cheap furniture. In the past 6 years we've been gradually replacing things, but there are still signs that we like to go garage saleing on the weekends as you look around our house!

We thought it would be fun to start to record some of the best and worst things we've ever come across in our wanderings.

To date, we have a two-way tie for worst-ever find.

• A board book that had been chewed by a very large dog (or malnurished child) so that about 1/3 of the book was gone
• an unopened bar of soap that had apparently sat in a very damp room for a number of years.The wrapper was completely attached to the soap

the best? That would be much harder to say. Our bed's headboard and footboard are pretty high up there (cherry four-poster bed; I don't remember how much it was. $40? maybe?)

Maybe at some point I'll go dig out the files we had on our website and post our "helpful hints" on the blog for anyone interested in reading it. (is there any interest?)
