and boy do i ever have a nickname for that grandma.

these are my garage sale chronicles. sometimes i talk about rules. sometimes i talk about finds. but mostly i'm just interested in looking inside people's garages.

today: i'm handling this situation by shakin' it right off.

there are estate sale signs around here. they're painted red. they're made by a specific group. and the sales are run by a specific woman. i'm pretty sure the people working for her call her meemaw. or something that starts with an "m" or a "b". in any case, to protect her identity, i'll call her meanmaw. i am so awesome with covert names.

she doesn't like me. for real. ask donnafriend. she'll tell you. the old lady is hateful to me.

anywrinkle, i'm boycotting her sales. i mean. yeah, garage saling is like a drug to me. but who wants 70 year old acid and the bad taste that it leaves? am i right? yeah i am. also. i've never done illegal drugs. i just like to use that word. acid. it makes me giggle.

(pictured are three vintage handles i purchased from meanmaw's estate sale a couple weeks ago. li'l tot asked me to find handles to make maracas. and i thought these would be perfect. too bad meanmaw wasn't around when her great great great great idk grandson gave them to me for a dollar.)

I have a way with grandma-types, you should have taken me with you.

Love your humor! It always slays me when people who are having garage sales are being obnoxious. My cash is green like everyone else's and hey, if you are a bee-atch me to, I'll just take my funds to one of the other 40 garage sales in the neighborhood. Great post! (from one garage sale addict to the other:)

I like to look in people's garages too. Makes me feel better about my pile of junk.

I had a meanmaw show up at my garage sale once. She was HORRIBLE and she literally bullied me into selling something for way too cheap. She is the reason I don't do garage sales anymore!!

Qhy doesn't she like you? That is just not possible? I need more dish on this...

Did those handles fit into the bolts in her neck?

Oh that was mean. I feel bad now.

You go meanmaw's grandson!!!!

You are right though, there is no reason to put yourself in a situation where 70 year old acid will leave a bad taste in your mouth - YOU DON'T DESERVE THAT!!!!!!!!
