Benefit Yard Sale

A volunteer team, "Hart Family & Friends", for the American Cancer Society of Monroe County is having a garage sale, this Saturday, May 16th at 987 Forest View Drive,Columbia, IL from 7:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. They ask if you personally are not interested in their garage sale - please pass along to anyone you thinkmight be - word of mouth is a powerful thing. At 11:00 all items remaining will be reduced an additional 50%. And many items will be priced at 25 and 50 cents. Lots to pick from - furniture to toys to household - something for everyone! And what a great cause to support. I'll be there!!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG SALES SALES SALES

Yes, my favorite time of year.  Rummage sales, yard sales, estate sales, are all back in season.  I have a few for you for this weekend.

A friend of the daughter of a friend of mine (did you follow that, I'm not sure) is having what is being billed as a HUGE yard sale in Belleville.  She posted a listing on Craigslist that was then forwarded to me.  Some of the offerings include:  books from the 1800's thru present day, vintage dolls and doll clothes, old and new linens, glassware, oriental dished, glider rocking chair, desk, 2 dressers (one antique), exercise bike, lots of household items, antique and new lamps (over 30), dish sets, games, silverware, tools, baby and/or doll clothes, patio furniture, baskets, Miller Lite Pool Table light, tons of framed pictures including lithographs and some antique.  They're also promoting that they will be selling hundreds of items for 25 cents.  The sale is at 429 N. 40th Street in Belleville on Friday, April 3rd and Sat., April 4th from 7 a.m. to 3 .m. each day.  

There is a Methodist Church on Frank Scott Parkway between Rt. 159 and Hartman Lane that is having a rummage sale this weekend.  Sacred Heart Church in Dupo is also having a rummage sale this weekend.

I plan on picking up a newspaper tomorrow or checking the News Democrat's website for additional rummage and yard sales.  If I find any I will add them later!
