Hola!

I’m not surprised I’m posting this heads up a tad late. The past few days have been 100 kinds of tiring, and because of that, many things have taken the back burner. Like writing, sleeping and researching estate & garage sales.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you that a huge, huge rummage sale is taking place over in Saint Paul both this weekend and next.

What You Need to Know

What: Mountain Zion Sisterhood Super Sale

More than 650 families have contributed to this mega-sale, and proceeds raised go towards outstanding nonprofits including Neighborhood House, Jeremiah Project, West 7th Community Center Sponsor-A-Family, Race for the Cure and several more.

The adverts promise housewares, clothing, shoes and accessories for all ages and occasions, collectibles and antiques, jewelry, furniture, books and  music, toys and  games for all ages, luggage, linens, art, sporting goods, electronics, office supplies and arts and crafts.

So, basically, you name it, they’ve got it.

When: Sunday, August 1, 12- 6 p.m.; Thursday, August 5, 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Friday, August 6, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. (1/2 PRICE DAY!); Sunday, August 8, 12-6 p.m. ($5 BAG DAY)

Where: 1300 Summit Avenue, Saint Paul. It’s on Summit between Hamline and Syndicate (Greek to me!).

What’s tempting me the most is the Bag Day on Sunday, August 8th. I love me some bag sale action.

Anyways, that’s all I’ve got for tonight. I’ll leave you with this…

My man surprised me today with pretty roses AND a frosty M&M Blizzard. He’s got a knack for cheering me up, that honey of mine.

Happy weekend!

heads up: ARC’s rummage sale to benefit haiti

Hey y’all!

So, one of my top motivations for shopping at thrifts is knowing that the money spent there is going towards something other than padding the pockets of execs at huge, multi-national conglomerates.

The American Refugee Committee”s Community Rummage Sale, happening tomorrow, gives you another opportunity to both shop for quality used goods and support a very, very deserving nonprofit.

What You Need to Know

What: Community Rummage Sale to Benefit Haiti

When: Saturday, July 10, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Where: Aldrich Avenue Presbyterian Church, 3501 Aldrich Ave. S., Minneapolis

Why: Remember this? Uh, yeah, Haiti needs our help people, still. American Refugee Committee responds to disasters (like the quake in Haiti and Hurricane Katrina) quickly, providing help to people when they are most vulnerable and then continuing to provide support (like rebuilding housing, etc.) for months afterwards. You can read all about their awesome work here. I promise once you do, you’ll be motivated to bring a pocket-full of dollars to the sale on Saturday, as I intend to do.

I’ll be hitting it up early, how about you?

xxoo,

Meghan

P.S. I was surprised and flattered to be picked by Sarah Von, the blogger behind Yes and Yes, as one of her favorite blogs in the Twin Cities. You can read the whole interview here.
