I love going to garage sales and thrift shops to find treasures to share with others.. I got hooked on second-hand sales when I was about 7 years old in 1971. My whole family (all 8 of us) were driving around in our wonderful station wagon on a dusty road in the middle of no-where PA or DE and we came upon an old farmhouse with a sign saying "Yard Sale". So we stopped and looked around. The lady who lived there was in her 80's or 90's and resembled Tasha Tudor and the little things she was selling was like a step into the past old toys, old paperdolls, seashells, old Christmas wrap, old books. It was like finding a treasure chest full of gold to this little girl!
