It is the season for shopping — a certain type of shopping. This is the season of searching out finds at garage sales, specifically the increasingly popular "community garage sale". The concept is smart for the customers and those holding the sale. When folks all over the neighborhood are holding sales, you’re practically guaranteed traffic. One of the main reasons I don’t do garage sales at my house: boredom. Sitting alone in the sun all day — even for a little cash — is not my idea of fun. But, turn it into a block party and I’m in. (Of course, I was out of town earlier this month when my neighborhood, the L Streets, held its community wide sale). I believe Casa Linda Estates is holding their sale this Saturday. Let us know when your neighborhood is holding one so I can post it (and so I can check it out).
