I've truly reached capacity for things in our 600-square-foot apartment, which must house two WFH adults and two cats. But the challenge of a four-day, 690-mile-long garage sale sounds like my Mt. Everest.

It had been so long since I have sewn anything that the pup had never seen my sewing machine! Luckily, compared to the vacuum, this was a relatively easy orientation! #DogTraining

Tailored an oversized #ShopSecondHand sweater to fit a bit better by putting a French seam in the back and taking out a few inches. Two darts in the waist of a #ThriftStoreFind pants and now they fit in the legs and waist #RunnerProblems !

I was trying to date a newspaper clipping in a #ShopSecondHand #GardeningBook and found The London Orchid Society !
In #Ontario #Orchids

I'm not taking any orchids into my care again but if you've a greener #GreenThumb than I, this might be your jam! Or to look at pretty flowers!

In the newspaper clipping, they referred to their 9th annual show, they just had their 40th.

I resisted the urge to buy any books from my favourite charity shop! 🥹
But came away with 2 pairs of jeans and some pj bottoms for £1 each and the Disney mug for £3 💖
