Garage sailing

Posted by andrea tomkins in: - Westboro

The Westboro Garage Sale is tomorrow. I’ll be at Westboro Kiwanis Park (a.k.a. Dovercourt) between 9 and 2:00 p.m. on Saturday June 6th, pressuring innocent bystanders into buying various goods (like these cute little things):

I wanted to make more, but there just hasn’t been enough time lately. *sigh*

If you’re in the ‘hood please stop by and sell hello!

Thanks all!
I sold five of these as a group for $20.00. I’m not sure if I undercharged or what. I’m debating setting up a roadside stand … just with teacups and things growing out of them. :)

Great idea! Saw a woman who was doing that today — selling potted flowers from her driveway.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
