Have you ever been to a yard sale by accident or on purpose? <\/p>\n
You meet the nicest people at yard sales. <\/p>\n
Yesterday, in the middle of the week no less, I saw several as I was driving through the countryside. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know if that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a Northern thing to have them during the week or not, but in the South, you mainly see yard sales on Saturday mornings. <\/p>\n
I have a teacher friend that goes to them faithfully every Saturday. She comes back with the most amazing things. I still don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite understand why she gets some of the things she does but I guess one man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s junk is another woman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s treasure. <\/p>\n
She actually inspired me to do that for awhile so on Friday morning, when the yard sale ads appeared in the paper, I strategically found the path to take from one to the other. I set out early the next morning to visit all 21 of them in as tight a timeframe as possible. <\/p>\n
It was so much fun that, as I shared what I was doing with my girlfriends, some of them decided to meet me and make it an adventure together. <\/p>\n
Now I am on a specific mission to find something. <\/p>\n
I am looking for ties\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6specifically men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ties. I am starting a project where I need to find as many as possible. Since they are so expensive and I need so many, I can not afford to buy them, so I am going to yard sales and ask my friends if they will share ones they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want anymore with me. I am going to recycle them to make something useful\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6at least I am going to attempt to. <\/p>\n
It should be fun. <\/p>\n
My wish for you today<\/strong> is that you go to a yard sale if you haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t had a chance to go to one before. Take your thermos of coffee and make sure you know where you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going. Speak kindly to those you come in contact with. You may just find some enjoyable experiences and find a few things you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do without in the process. <\/p>\n ~ Joellen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have you ever been to a yard sale by accident or on purpose?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life-events","category-living-life-to-the-fullest"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reflectionsfromacountrygirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reflectionsfromacountrygirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reflectionsfromacountrygirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reflectionsfromacountrygirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reflectionsfromacountrygirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/reflectionsfromacountrygirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reflectionsfromacountrygirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reflectionsfromacountrygirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reflectionsfromacountrygirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
