Garage sale addictions are not a disease they are a state of mind. When they take over all you can do is keep going from sale to sale. The fix you are looking for may be clothes, a hard to find book or anything else you think someone else may buy or that you just can't live without. One of my buddies told me to always look for unusual items. Make sure they are of high quality and without flaw. Last season I found this gem for a buck. It looks gaudy but guess what? This is an Orchids of Hawaii drink server, and ones just like it are on eBay right now for $15 to $40. No one I know would want one of these beauties but I suppose someone having a wedding on the Islands may have ordered drinks for the entire wedding party in one of them. In that case, it has sentimental value for someone. Next weekend garage sales will be in full swing. Easter will be in the rear view mirror and warm weather will roll across the country, except perhaps in North Dakota. Happy hunting, and remember, look for the unusual, watch out for chips and cracks and have fun. There is adventure around every bend.

Look What I Found
