...and this was all we bought. One single ceramic squirrel container. 50 cents. I didn't even have to bargain. We stopped at 40 garage sales in about 2 1/2 hours and drove by many more. It was Garagellenium - an annual event where a neighbourhood in our city has hundreds of garage sales all on the same day. David and I are absolutely sure that the hundreds of sales we DIDN'T go to had all the good stuff and we were unlucky enough to just go to all the ones with junk. We haven't been in years and probably won't go again. I do enjoy my squirrel container though. Now what should I put in it? Nuts just seems too obvious.

I have the same luck with garage sales. FOrtunely, my neighbor is having one tomorrow and I happened to see what she was putting out. She brings out a toy for my little one that now I must go back and get. What a way to make a sale. Go straight for the baby!
