When will garage sale season begin?


Every weekend I'm hopeful and every weekend I'm disappointed. It's been weeks and weeks since there's been anything good. To get my "fix" I've been going to more estate sales. Last weekend, in spite of the historic snow storm (12 inches), we stopped by one in the M Streets neighborhood. Got some old Disney postcards and a Whitman's Answer Book - Thousand Fact Reference... It's about 2.5 by 4 inches and is from 1938. Very curious book containing trivia such as postal rates, state facts, dirigible accidents, etc.

Yesterday was an example of quality not quantity. We only found two garage sales but the first one had FREE vintage board games. We got all ten of these pictured, including Strip Tac Toe, a shrink-wrapped Master Mind and one called Park and Shop.
