Q is for Quantity and Quality

The yard sale season is upon us. Increasingly, people are painting, repurposing and reselling surplus items from their homes. The above photo features a sale from a while back when the Thrill of the Hunt was still on Battleground Avenue.* It is amazing what one can accrue over the course of a year. As college students move home for the summer, household items and tchotchkes can grow exponentially. With Craigs list, community sales, and personal yard sales, one person's trash becomes another's treasure.

Today is ABC Wednesday and for our Go GREEN Greensboro series, we're featuring "Q" for quantity and quality. Websites abound with suggestions for decluttering and paring down to owning things that really matter for us. If you spent a week considering the items that brought more quality to your life, what would you get rid of? Quality over quantity is a good first step in going green. If you don't mind quibbling over price and you need to get out from under the quagmire of stuff, consider organizing a sale in your neighborhood...... or ours!

*The Thrill of the Hunt is now located downtown across from the Mellow Mushroom on South Elm Street.

I love the quality of some of the items from garage sales. I'm a big fan.

This is part of what I do day in and day out, Thursday-Sunday are treasure hunting days. They are also (as is the rest of the week) cleaning, tinkering, picture taking, text writing and photo editing days!
There is a very nice selection of old, up-cycled, odd and fun in the above photo!
