Less than 12 Hours to Blast Off!!!

Less than 12 hours until garage sale starts !!!

The early bird shoppers and sellers will be out well before the 8am starting time trying to get a head start on the day...

Before I keep going...there is a lost dog in the neighbourhood. Her name is Lily and she is a very nervous Chihuahua wearing a pink harness and black leash. She could be hiding in someone's backyard or under a veranda. She was last seen this morning running in the lane north of O'Connor Drive between Donlands and towards Pape. Please reach out to me or call Doris at 416-425-3420.

                                             LILY

and the weather forecast has changed every day this week. The biggest wish is that the weather stays the same as the Saturday forecast showing today.

20 Degrees with almost no chance of rain is every garage saler's dream!!! Let's hope it stays like that !!! Fingers and toes crossed!!

5 Days and Counting!

Garage Sale Day is fast approaching! 

There are still garage sale packages and lawn signs available to those wishing to participate in this Saturday's sale. Yes, the action starts at 8am on Saturday, June 2nd.

For those getting organized for the sale, there is a trusty check list here that should help you to prepare for the sale.

Garage Sale Checklist

Done	Activity
	Select, clean, price, label and pack items for sale
	Organize helpers
	Organize tables and sale set up
	Items to have on hand are: pens, markers, scissors, scotch tape, tape measurer and an extra long extension cord
	Prepare or buy munchies and cold drinks for helpers
	Have comfortable chairs around for helpers

	Have grocery bags available for packing up purchases for customers as well as newspapers for wrapping breakables

Please note: You should make sure that all of this is done before the day of the sale. You will only have enough time to set up your items on the morning of the sale as there are ALWAYS early bird shoppers.

Reminder

Please think about parking your car at the William Burgess School parking lot on the day of the sale. This will relieve some of the traffic congestion that we have experienced in the past.

Thank you.

We are very excited to have new lawn signs and banners this year! Please reach out if you would like anything to help you with your sale!

Yasmin displaying her wares...

There is a special and enthusiastic family on Beechwood Drive this year and you won't want to miss them! They have kid's toys and books and two golf carts to sell among other things. They have been known to produce a good bit of baking as well. Stop by to say hello and see what they have on offer this year.

We can all start praying for weather and talking to the garage sale gods. It is ramping up to be a banner year yet again.

It you are supporting a charity, let us know about it and we will post. If you are selling special and unusual items and would like them posted, let us know. Looking forward to another successful garage sale!!! 

Spring is in the air!!!! (too bad about the temperature...)

Time to start thinking about this year's 

Golden Triangle Garage Sale !!!

March Break is over. Holiday time is done. Time to get to that Spring cleaning and with that your collection of wonderful items to sell at this year's Golden Triangle Garage Sale.

This year's sale will be held on Saturday, June 2nd from 8am until 2pm. As in previous years, the Salvation Army will provide a truck at 65 Pepler Avenue at 2pm until 4pm on the day of the sale to collect unwanted or unsold items. This is always a great donation day for the Salvation Army and a wonderful feel good day for everyone else.

Where did the idea of Spring cleaning come from your ask?????

Some researchers trace the origin of spring cleaning to the Iranian Nowruz, the Persian new year, which falls on the first day of spring. Iranians continue the practice of "khooneh tekouni" which literally means "shaking the house" just before the Persian new year.

Who would have known.....

Time for everyone to get on the band wagon and start sharing the garage sale date with friends and family and anyone else who will listen....please post on your social media whenever possible. It is true...posting closer to sale time will most likely be more productive but it is good to get everyone to mark it in their calendars now.

'Til next post....Happy Spring Cleaning!!!!
