The attic needs more insulation. And the crush of excess belongings — including tons of stuff accumulated for the last house and tons of stuff “rescued” from local estate sales — is causing serious feng shui energy constipation. Hey, I can’t make it to Washington, D.C. for the real deal Rally with Jon Stewart and i-luv-Stephen Colbert, hence: The Garage Sale to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. Saturday, Oct. 30. My house.

oooo….if you find an aqua range hood – save it for me!
ok. I have a 30″ hammered coppertone… if i don’t sell it at the Garage Sale to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, I will put it on clist or ebay. The stuff has got to GO!
Pam, is that desk chair vinyl or leather? (Not that it matters….) Is it orange?
Yes, orange leather. Jens Risom.
I would *LOVE* the orange chair but sadly I have to work tomorrow 🙁
Congrats on the new job, Brian!
Thanks Pam! I will have Saturdays free soon!
Put the coffee on !!!!!
Just kidding-I too have to work.
Gavin you scared me. I looked at your post and I thought you wrote “I have too work”! ARGH!! LOL
See, I REALLY need a transporter like they had in Star Trek.
Your motivated. I have a pile in my basement that needs to be sorted and sold, but I never get to it.
I found curtains, a lighting fixture, and old books that I now have to figure out where to put… Is there medication or something for this retro diease?
Yes, there is no CURE, just temporary relief: Go buy stuff. Especially stuff that needs some restoration!
Ahhhhh! Too short notice and I have a funeral to go to in the morning (RIP G-pop) otherwise we’d make a day trip out of it. Good luck with the sale.
I need to get in that transporter, too, Jen! California is just waaay to far away from your house, Pam, and I am having a little temper tantrum because I can’t be there!
Please let us know when things go up for sale on the internet 🙂
Here I sit in northern New Mexico where the only things listed as “vintage” at garage sales are broken Tickle Me Elmos and stacks of Mouse eaten Harlequin romance novels.
I need to move to your neighbourhood Pam.
How about restoring “Vanity” “Vanities”?
Must’ve been the day to do some cleaning! I cleaned out the garage (from leftover garage stuff that had been stored there since May!)…trip to the Salvation Army store…came home with some vintage Christmas stuff (why?).
At least I can store the classic car now for the winter (68 Dodge Coronet).
oh, I must say went to the Michigan UP to visit the niece last weekend ….went to a couple antique stores….ooooh, if I only had room in the trunk. I found 2 really, really nice tv’s (consoles). very nicely priced too. A bargain for someone up north.
This reminds me of my Great Purge of August; however, now I am obsessing over vintage ephemera for collaging (or at least, that’s what I’m calling it).
All the indoor real estate I gained last summer is quickly disappearing under boxes of books, papers, magazines, etc. My advice is to get busy on the insulation before you have the chance to re-fill the attic!
