Saturday am, we popped out of bed (hmmm...those were REAL popping noises!), and hustled to get to our 'rehab' house to present our wonderful, gently used 'stuff' for sale at the VILLAGE WIDE GARAGE SALES.
Stumbling through table set up, pop-up set up, and correctly juxtaposing things to display their most eye-catching features (how many glass vases did we have, anyway!), we finally got to the part where we could finish our coffees. That helped.
We even put out a table of our pottery! After all, as starving artists (please don't mention that we don't look starved if you wish an inheritance...), one must begin to get one's reputation in the hometown, right?
The male member of our dynamic duo had to 'cut out' early in order to show his beloved car at the all Cadillac Show in Lombard, IL. This left his frail, elderly wife to deal with the hordes of customers who descended on the site like vultures to a feast. Aw, shucks...that ain't the way it was, folks, but that was a good fiction sentence!
Joined mid-morning by their intrepid cousin from the Northern Sububs, who brought some of her stained glass artwork to sell, the two girls succeeded in selling out nearly all of the garage sale items, and even some of the pottery. A great time was had by both, as the customers proved to be friendly, happy and chatty.
A mid-day drizzle hastened the closing of the Garage Sale, and another Annual Village Garage Sale was over.
