We had a barn sale this weekend.
We don't really have a barn.
Only a garage with delusions of grandeur.
But antiques and vintage, that we have. Too many, in fact.
The house (and the addition, put on to the house to hold the vintage) is packed, and so was the “barn”.
(The drawing easel is not vintage, and regretfully, not for sale.)
Leftovers from Clover Market, smalls from my Etsy shop, recently found items, and stuff that had been replaced with different stuff.
Some things actually sold on Etsy while the barn sale was going on -- that was interesting, as I was at my job and Mr. VJIMT worked the sale alone, but the powers of modern technology -- specifically, texting and online access -- saved us from double dipping disaster!
Friends came from far and wide, and some not-so-local peeps saw the photos on my Facebook fan page and purchased via that outlet. Social media at work!
A certain Gypsy girl showed up with a big bill. Why does she always looks so stinking cute?
So now that the “barn” is sort of cleared out, does that mean I can get some goats? Or at the very least, some barn cats?
My heart skipped a beat when I saw all the wonderful vintage items you were selling! Boy do I wish I would have found your sale. :)

Excuse me while I wipe off my keyboard. I think I drooled a little! What an amazing assortment of items you had! I would have LOVED to have come to your sale!
Just wanted to say THANKS for your kind comment on my 'chocolate' coffee table!

I am doing the same thign this weekend. It makes me feel good to purge the old stock a bit! And my garage has the same delusiion, though mine thinks it's a wharehouse somedays, a big lofty warehouse, not a garage .
Glad you had success ! and lot's of traffic hope mine does as well.

Man, I wish our neighbors would have garage sales like this one. For three days we watched signs go up advertising an "antiques and large furniture" sale. Lots of signs! When we made it to the sale, there was one crapped out, ugly JC Penney style 70s dresser, one lumpy, ugly 80s couch, a large ugly mirror (70s) plus some racks of ugly clothes and shoes. And a few overpriced 90s ugly Christmas tchotchkes. They should have advertised an ugly sale! (Luckily, around the corner was another sale where we picked up some feedsacks and 40s jigsaw puzzles.)
