There's this show on TV called the Antique Roadshow where people bring things from their home which they think is of value and these are appraised. It's interesting how people get hold of their trinkets: as a hobby, inheritance, from their attic. Others, however, just happened to buy these at a shop somewhere, just sitting there on the shelf, being neglected.
Not that we expect to find something of magnificent value in garage sales, but it's fun nonetheless. One thing's for sure, though. We now tend to browse things that look quite old and then my wife and I would ask each other, "Antiques Roadshow?"
Last week's garage sale was a community effort and so it was done in a hall.
There were lots of nice things on offer. Elegant wine glasses at only a dollar each, and books also at a dollar each! All sorts of bric a brac and electronics were also up for grabs.
Both grown-ups and kids have fun in community garage sales.
Oy, uwi ka na nga dito sa Pinas. Me utang ka pang kape sa akin. :D
ReplyDeletePumupunta ka pa rin ba sa Sagada? Daan ka sa Baguio sa December, kape tayo dun :-)
ReplyDeleteLayo naman ng kapehan ko. Haha. Im not sure if punta ako ng Sagada this month. Watson, hindi naman food blog ang website ko. It is still focused on travel, pero Biyaheng Pinoy is actually about anything Pinoy. Culture, food, people, travel, etc....
ReplyDeleteAh ok... ang laki ng pagbabago ng blog mo. Sa akin, the same pa rin. hehe.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we can meet in Marikina in December... magkape tayo sa Cordillera Coffee.
Laki ba ng pagbabago? Parang wala ngang pinagbago. Hehe. Pero nageenjoy ako sa blogging ngayon compared to before kasi ngayon meron na akong mga correspondents na tumutulong sa akin sa mga posts ko. Big challenge sa akin ngayon ang "30 Most Affordable Foods in Marikina City" where I feature 30 cheap foods in Marikina with prices ranging from P40-P100 only. So iniisa isa ko ang mga kainan sa Marikina. :) Bale I've already visited 24 restos/food places already, so 6 na lang. :) Ay, Wat, wala na yung Cordillera Coffee sa Riverbanks Mall.
ReplyDeleteHa!?! Ganun ba... di bale, alam ko makakahanap ka ng magandang coffee shop dyan.
ReplyDeleteSayang, malamang sinamahan kita sa adventure mo. Basta chibog, sama ako.
