Hi neighbors! With spring cleaning season here, I thought it would be great to coordinate garage sales in our area.

I'm planning a garage sale for Saturday, May 22nd and wondering if anyone else wants to join in for a "Highland Park Neighborhood Sale Weekend"?

Benefits of coordinating:

  • More shoppers attracted to the area
  • Share advertising costs for newspaper ads
  • Make it a fun community event
  • Help each other with setup/pricing

Post here if you're interested! Even if you're not having a sale, let us know what you're looking for - maybe someone has it!

Count me in! I was just thinking about having a garage sale. Perfect timing!

What I'll have:
• Kids' clothes (sizes 4-8)
• Kitchen appliances
• Books and toys
• Some furniture pieces

I can help with the newspaper ad if we pool our money. Also have some good folding tables we can share if anyone needs them.

What a wonderful idea! I'm definitely interested.

My contributions:
• Vintage dishes and glassware
• Educational books and materials
• Garden tools
• Craft supplies

I'm also looking for a small bookshelf and any quilting materials if anyone has them!

Should we make a map showing all the participating houses? I could help design one.
