Garage Sale Season Ends and the Holidays Begin

Added on 11/03/07 by Betsy 0 comments

This is my favorite time of year. After the Dirty Nurse costume is packed away for another year and before Aunt Trudy, the original Dirty Nurse shows up for Thanksgiving, it's clean out the house time.

The time of year when people call Empire carpet to freshen up for the Aunt Trudy. And how can sweet Aunt Trudy squeal with jealousy over the new Berber if she can't see it?

Time to take everything to Goodwill.

For the Ebay seller it is when we kick it into high gear, clear our calendars and hang out all day at the local thrift shop. It does seem strange that people would wait until the frost hits to clean out their house, but with holiday fast approaching Goodwill will fill with large toys, TVs, stuffed animals and clothing as people make room for the new.

Any mom looking at the Toys R Us Wish Book becomes increasingly clausterphobic at the idea of being surrounded with additional hunks of purple, pink and blue plastic.

Your job as a Suburban Recycling Professional is to turn those forgotten 2006 Little Tikes kitchens, American Girl dolls and Fisher Price Loving Family Dollhouses and market yesterday's trash as Christmas morning treasure. Good luck people.
