It is a neat idea, TAPS, and it shows a community in agreement. I wish I was one of the Welkadoo people, LOL - I wouldn't care how she spelled it.

Those community yard sales are pretty neat. Moon Valley in Phoenix has one every year. It is a well-to-do neighborhood and they have a lot of really nice stuff and you don't have to drive all around to different ones. You just walk door to door. Speaking of "well-to-do", I knew a woman once who thought it was welkadoo. She was always talking about welkadoo people. HAHAHA

Since Ell introduced me to yard sales and auctions, I must confess to an auction addiction. What I like to do, is go early (or sometimes, as Ell is becoming well known, she gets the chance to go the evening before to scope things out) and have a wander through the stalls and items without the hassle. When it gets busy I tend to slope off home if the auction is close enough, or disappear to look for a Tim Hortons cafe in the area.

I think a story about yard sales would have wide appeal..
so many otherwise sensible, rational people are drawn to yard sales. I guess we're all hoping to find a Renoir or some priceless antique chest under a coat of madhouse green paint...

Thank you kind lady. I will accept the compliment, blushingly, of course.
