Actually we have been yard saling for over a month or more, but since school is almost out it feels like the season is in full bloom. The competition has increased and the variety of stuff seems a bit more expensive and perhaps not as varied. Now I am not sure if that is a reflection on what interests me when I am out shopping or that I am just in a different phase of my life. Oh and a teenager who shops with me. She perhaps tempers my impulsivity and I encourage her to take a chance more often. I have seen her contemplate $28 shoes in the store when she wouldn't give them a second chance at a consignment store for $4 dollars. Today I had to encourage her to consider a cute shirt that came from London. It seems a woman in town wanted a souvenir while she was in London and bought the shirt. When she returned home to the west coast the shirt wasn't a good fit and ended in her yard sale box. It is now my daughters favorite shirt. All the way from London via a local yard sale for $2, matched with the
Citizen of Humanity jeans for $3 and she picked up a cute outfit for the price of a Starbucks Venti something or other.
