I wish it wouldn’t be obnoxious to write this entire post in all CAPS and exclamations! That’s how excited I am. We are. Today, I’m breaking down all of the details on our Flash Sale for Charity!

A Decades’ Worth of Yard Sale Experience
If you’ve been around for awhile, you know that we love browsing a good yard sale. We’ve been known to alter our routes on family walks, make (safe and legal) U-turns on road trips, and plan our weekends around hitting up big neighborhood sales. And while perusing other people treasures is great, hosting our own […]
Four Flea Finds That Made Us Smile
This past weekend, we went to the last Elkhorn Flea Market of the season, also known as our first flea trip of the season. (That garden unit took everything out of us!) Elkhorn is one of our very favorites – worth the hour and a half drive from Chicago – and we’ve been enough times to beeline […]
Vlog: Yard Sale Day (7 Years Strong!)
[adthrive-in-post-video-player video-id=”ovs1qp8J” upload-date=”2018-05-11T17:33:24.000Z” name=”Yard Sale Day” description=”null”] Ah, summer. The freshly cut grass, the warm air, the every other day street festival… the yard sales! Scott spearheaded our first building-wide, multi family yard sale (yup, back in our original yellow brick home!) in 2009, and we’ve carried the tradition over to our new – and by new, you […]
Wood Refresh v.2: The End Table
Every now and then in a rare Chicago moment, you’ll find something at an unexpected yard sale that is a steal. We often say that Windy City peeps are too smart for their britches, and landing a deal on a piece of furniture is like finding that needle in a haystack (or finding that ever-elusive […]
Sale, Successful.
Is it possible that we’re still recovering from Saturday’s yard sale – and it’s already mid-morning on Monday? The sale was a success, and we’re happy to report that we made just enough to cover the expense for new living room shades; hooray! Or a new upholstery job on the lovely chair. Or a few […]
The Week’s End
High fives to myself for continuing on my weekend-to-the-fullest journey, hurrah! And Scott, too. Our building wide yard sale + bike shop sidewalk sale was a success (more on year’s past here and here), which naturally meant treating ourselves to pasta and a late night flick with neighbors, followed by Sunday projects (the reconstructed ottoman […]
Yard Sale 2.0
Condo association yard sale 2010 (v. 2.0) is in the books, folks. And once again (you may remember our sale of yore), it was a heckuva success. We all walked away with some cush in the pockets, invaluable extra space in our homes, and bellies full of burgers and beers… But let’s back up a […]
We’re Having A(nother) Yard Sale!
Some of you may remember waaay back to August of 2009 when we hosted our first annual condo association yard sale. Not only did over ten units in our building participate, but so did a few of our closest friends, all who took the opportunity to set up shop in our tree lawn. We had […]
Everything But the Kitchen Sink
You want it? We had it. Clothes, media, furniture, decor, bikes, and the list goes on. Gadgets and gizmos. Widgets and doodads. Everything but the kitchen sink. I told you not too long ago how we love a yard sale, so why not hold one of our own? Here’s the full scoop on that big […]
