On the (garagesale)trail








































I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THE WHOLE OLD FASHION IDEA OF A GARAGE SALE. THE NOTION OF RECYCLING HAS BEEN AROUND FOR EVER AND NOW WE HAVE THANKFULLY SHRUGGED OFF THE LAST RESIDUE OF THE 80S AND ALL THINGS BIGGER, AND NEWER AND MOST EXPENSIVE. ON APRIL 10TH 2010, SYDNEY CITY COUNCIL ALONG WITH OTHER SYDNEY COUNCILS PROMOTED AND
ENCOURAGED A SATURDAY WHICH FOCUSED ON THE GARAGAESALETRAIL. PEOPLE HIT THE STREETS MANNED WITH A MAP AND LOCATIONS OF ALL THE REGISTERED GARAGE SALES. IT WAS A HEAP OF FUN AND EVERYONE CHATTED TO EACH OTHER REGARDLESS BEING A FRIEND OR STRANGER.
LOVE THAT! I LOOKED UP WWW.GARAGESALETRAIL.COM.AU AND FOUND A GREAT PROFILE AND EXPLANATION OF THE IDEA.
