Sunday morning, after a hearty breakfast and a few cups of
coffee, I suggested to everyone that we all go visit some of the local yard
sales. I didn’t expect much of a reaction, since everyone was still in a laid-back
and relaxed mode in their lounging clothes and sipping on their second or third
cup of coffee. So to my amazement, they all thought it was a great idea and in
no time, we were out the door with a list of yard sales from St Peter’s to River
Bourgeois to Arichat. It was a perfect
day for doing just that, the weather forecast called for sun and cloud with
temperatures of around 20 Celsius. By the end of the day (or late afternoon),
we did find a couple of interesting things, like some old records, a glass
vase, a book, a couple of photo frames, cereal bowls , a 1970’s syrup pitcher
and free magazines. We managed to see
most of the yard sales on our list except for one, which either didn’t set-up
for the day or we were just too late. By that time, we were ready to head back
home anyway. On the way back we stopped
at the Cottage Bakery and picked up some fresh rolls then for an ice cream at
Jiggs Take-out in St Peter’s. A
delightful way to end the day!
I was really hoping to get to more yard sales
and flea markets over the summer months. Time passed by so quickly, I must say
that I’m glad we all decided to get up and go on such short notice! Summer is not quite over yet and I think fall
is still a good time for flea markets, so there might still be a chance for a
bit of treasure hunting.
