Summertime Fun… Part 1

Here’s a How-To in Prolific Sales…  Yard Sales that is! 

Growing up, yard sales were practically prerequisite to the realms of drama-filled adolescence, as was the serious mandate in fully accepting the sagacious code of a true bargain-hunter.  While my earliest childhood experience of thrifty-nickels was a visionary classic of sleeping sisters on lawn chairs to the utter confusion of roving customers… we learned quickly the how-to’s that circulate the adage, ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure’.  And I suppose it is. Like many among the masses, the fabric of society fervently stockpiles unwarranted clutter that seems a haunting realization behind every key and lock from bustling metropolis to backyard suburbia.  Even the most righteous and self-proclaimed neat-freaks are proficient in the respectable art of gathering a thing or two.  So, after thorough assessment, I decided a little summertime nostalgia was the order of the day.  Designer labels, NWT, DVD’s, relic VHS tapes, shoes, handbags, electrical cords, furniture, belts, bedding, and junk-junk-junk galore…  I suddenly realized it all had to go!  But things have a way of collecting more than dust; they occupy an extraordinary corridor within the cerebral warehouse, called… memories. Alas, out with the old and in with the new, I always say.  Well, not exactly… but it suits this blog and in many ways, it’s reality!
