YARD SALE

Vacant. 
It seems to be just an American thing where yard sales do actually exist. In my town I still see small signs advertising garage sales where people just have an insane clear out and practically give away their shit for nothing. My possessions are pretty much from car boots or charity shops, there's something freaky yet rewarding about purchasing something vintage and 2nd hand.. I think the best thing about car boots which me and my mom attend on Sundays is the novelty of getting to know someone just from the stuff they sell. It's sentimental the items people want to forget- a whole image of their history can be layed out in front of you for you to take a piece of.
I purchased some old man's cardigans for £1 of this lady a whole back, my mom said they were probably the most vile items she had ever seen but I loved them. Matey could be dead! who knows ? I'm just parading round in his old St Michaels beauties. Yard sales seem cute, Car boots are amazing riots of buying junk like light up globes and travelling suitcases, however after the creation of Ebay, much of the population are fond of selling items anonymously for more. Less banter though, not as fun.
