Mod Mischief

I love the Great Glebe Garage Sale . In terms of exciting annual events, it's right up there with Christmas (although nowhere close to Halloween ). We got off to a bit of a late start, but Chris and I still managed to find some real treasures to bring home in the little red wagon. Cute blue retro luggage set that looks mostly unused. Cost: $15 for all 4 pieces Funky old film reels ($1 for both!), a felt hat ($1.50) and a wooden frame for silk screening (50 cents). Military badges ($5), a glass dome ($2) and a cute bottle (50 cents). Speakers for the stereo a friend very generously gave to us a few months ago ($35). Finally, a tulip table base for only $10! We need a bar height table for the kitchen, so this piece is too short to use as-is, but I'm sure we can come up with a way to make it work. I'm glad we didn't have as far of a walk as last year , it was quite a load for our little wagon!

Chris and I woke up bright and early after Friday’s party . We probably could have used some more time to recover from the previous night’s mayhem, but there was no way I was going to miss out on our Saturday plans. Saturday was the annual Great Glebe Garage Sale . We spent all morning pulling my little red wagon through the crowded streets, checking out all the deals and wishing we lived in such a cool neighbourhood. We found some really great pieces and hauled it all home on the wagon. I got new and improved living quarters for Nim and Noi. It’ll need some tlc, but the girls are going to love having all that extra space. Cost: $2 We also found the coolest leather suitcase I’ve ever seen. The previous owner’s last name started with a Z! I can’t wait to do something awesome with it. Cost: $10 I also grabbed several wooden frames for silk screening for 25 cents each, a couple clocks to use in my records for a dollar a piece, and Chris found a styling silk tie for a two...
