Today we are going to the Lakeway Activity Center to stroll around the All-City Garage Sale. Joe’s Bakery and Coffee Shop is catering for us. Our entertainment is Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.
Menu
Hop on. Let’s go
The activity center.
If you don’t want to take your unsold stuff home, you can donate it.
Speaking of donations, here are three ways to do it for an entry fee.
A quick look at the selling area.
Lots of stuff and a chair.
Here is something for everyone. A little Christmas, too.
Looks like a handbag central with some clothes thrown in.
Drinkware, jewelry, and whatnot.
Mostly holiday stuff.
Handmade jewelry.
China and chairs.
Toys.
Cookware and trinkets.
Novelties and a hose.
Golf balls. Lots of golf balls
Well, that is it. I hope you got a good idea of what the Garage sale was all about. Time for food and music. I hope you have a wonderful week.
Such a great idea, a good way to get rid of some unwanted items. The menue looks awesome. Hard to pick. xo

Nice looking sale. My wife and her friend would do a garage sale in our garage twice a year. I was always elected to get tables set up. It was a chore. But we got rid of a lot of precious stuff (junk). Still can’t remember how we accumulated it all.
I hope you were able to buy a lot of stuff to lug home.

My favorite is called 90 On 90, the several-city garage sale along Highway 90 that takes place in June. I have a gate-leg solid wood table I picked up there years ago. The towns involved are Sealy, Columbus, Glidden, Weimar, Schulenburg, Flatonia, Waelder, Harwood, Luling, Seguin, Geronimo, and McQueeney. I’m past my garage sale days, but at that one you always can stop at the various German and Czech bakeries for a treat.

I love me a good garage/yard sale! We have one here that is alleged to be the longest yard sale in the world. It starts in Gadsden, AL and goes up the highway (number?) and finishes up in Ohio if memory serves. Some astonishing stuff in your city garage sale. I would’ve loved to wander around and take a few ‘treasures’ home with me.
