Ahhhhh . . . it’s THAT time of year! It does not matter how well prepared I am or HOW far ahead I plan; THIS time of year there just are NEVER enough hours in the day! And of course this year I had to add in a SIDEWALK SALE, just for fun!
The sidewalk sale is THIS SATURDAY,
OCTOBER 4TH; 10am – 2pm
And we’ve got a LOT of stuff!
Michael has been sorting through his piles of junk (good junk!) and I’ve been cleaning out the craft room of stuff I will NEVER get around to using! It’s all loaded up in the trailer and ready to go to the store on Saturday morning. The sale will be outside, in front of the empty space next door. (but under cover. Of course it’s supposed to RAIN on Saturday!) Rain seldom stops a true Oregonian anyhow! And you can park right at the curb, so it’s just a few steps to the awning where the sale will be.
Michael will be outside running the sidewalk sale separately from the store, but of course the store is open too. Lots of ‘quick to finish’ things in the sidewalk sale. Unfinished wood book shelves, and lots of NICE plywood scraps for crafting or building yourself. (this is the wood we use for practically EVERYTHING we build! Nice stuff! GREAT prices!) Cedar planter boxes and scraps of cedar to build your own. LOTS of little wood cut-outs for the decorative painter.
And of course some good OLD junk! Here are a few pictures:





The baggies full of stuff are priced PER BAG!

AND if that weren’t enough to keep me busy for a while, the store is now open Wednesday – Saturday until Christmas. I am busy ‘re-organizing’ the store to make room for Christmas, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks. Should be all ‘decked out’ by mid-month!
THEN, it’s time to get ready for the fall shows! And as if I weren’t busy enough already . . . I’m going to be doing ANOTHER show in addition to my usual two! The former owners of Gingerberry Cottage (they closed their store summer 2007) are doing a show here in Hillsboro. I’ll be adding that info later along with the other show information.
