Garage Sale 2013

Did i mentioned that i do vide-grenier ( garage sale ) twice this year? yeah the 1st one was month of June and the second time i participated in the neighborhood just recently, last september. I am a proud buyer in the garage sale, i so like garage sale! i can find nice stuff specially items for kids. I know plenty of mom's who do practically their shopping in vide-grenier and i find it reasonable. Second hand books, clothes, shoes, toys name it! etc. etc.. you can find anything in vide-grenier. So you get it now why i dont go to Galeries Lafayette ? hehehehe In fact, in vide-grenier you cannot only find second hand items, sometime u can find unused items so i advice u folks when buying in garage sale,  never hesistate digging in to find good stuff that might interest u. True to say that children's items are always a hit, i mostly disposed Bibingclara's stuff :)
the vendeuse -seller " bili na kayo dyan alé, mamâ!" "comme on buy madame, monsieur!" hehehehe
Bibingclara separates with her disney thing little story book she said, she want to get more new of Monsieur, madame livres instead when she success to sell all of them.Yes she made it!She did a good job she sells everything. So funny because she knows how to sales talk she explain every details to the prospect buyers. Good news, from that sale, we accumulated euros which will permits us to get buy new stuff for Bibingclara :)
the latest garage sale purchase
I found a pair of Melissa for 5 euros never used and with tags. Too bad, i have to wait summer to let them wear. Garage sale gusto mo? Tara na, lets go shopping! ay hindi pala must wait the next season around May. So must wait, must wait :)

Vide-grenier 2012 - Garage sale

Our garage sale is done. Salamat at marami akong nabenta hehehe sometimes people can be so strange kahit na lumang-luma na talagang binibili pa ( ma-antik hehehe ) pero teka wala naman akong talagang mga binenta na sobrang over-used items hehehe yung iba pa nga mga bago pa at meron pang etiketa. Meron pa palang isang kwento pati ang ginawa kong mini cassava cakes at coconut macaroons ( yep nag bake ako ulet bukod dun sa fête de l'école ) ay nabili hehehe oo niladlad ni Claudebiko sa lamesa ( sa inis namin there's a story behind ) at meron bumili at pumakyaw imbes na sa association ng garage sale ibibigay ( to participate kuno ) ang mga goodies abay ibinenta ( though bawal magbenta ng pagkain ). Ano nga ba ang istorya? naku mahaba basta hindi nagkaintindihan sa puwesto at meron pang talakan shooba-shoobang nangyari sa mga personal na sumasakop ng garage sale na ito. Anyway, this was the last time na kame ay mag-ga-garage sale dito, huli na to promise kasi mga asungot, lalo na yung balbasero hahaha tamaan sana sya ng kidlat :) inapi api nya si Claudebiko. Imagine, pang-apat na beses na namin ito with the same association. The first time, photo below :
2009 - i disposed lots of abubot from my mother in law's place and some baby stuff
2010 - click here and 2011 - click here buti na lang uso ang ganito dito kaya naman each year mas lalo akong nagiging organize para sa pag-re-ready ng aming "emptying attic" :)
3 big plactic boxes - my items, hubby's item and daughter items
ang aming munting puwesto hehehe ( makalat dahil nag-uumpisa palang akong magsabit-sabit )
hindi maganda ang weather, hindi kame sinuwerte walang araw at malamig grrr..
ang naiinip na nagbebenta ( i almost dispose everything kahit lumang tsinelas for 0.20 cents sila ay nag-disappear. Munting kwento - i put a pair of used Claudebikos sandals ( world balance ang tatak ) on the side, i said, i'm going to trash it at the end of the day. People keep digging in halukay dito halukay duon ( yap ukay-ukay mode ) at natagpuan ang magic sandals nagtanong ang isang lalaki habang sinusukat ang lumang sandals, "magkano ito?" ang sabi ko umm... sa isip ko bibigay ko ng libre because i am almost ready to trash it pero ang nabigkas ko 0.50 cents ho o kung magkano nyo gusto i don't mind ( as u want ) nag-isip sya mukhang nagkamali ata ng dinig bigla sya tumawad ang sabi ng mamang lalaki " can i get it for 3 euros? " mukhang nabingi sya sa mura. So sabi ko," ok you can get it for 3 euros" no prob. Binili nung lalaki, at pagkaalis nya nag-isip ako bakit ko tinanggap yung 3 euros nya? medyo na-guilty talaga ako pero hindi ko na nahabol yung mama para isoli yung pera nya so di bale na naalala ko nung umaga habang nagpe-prepare ako merong "kawatan" o tinatawag na salisi kasi ba naman yung dress ko na binebenta ko eh nawala merong "pumuslit" merong nagnakaw hanger nalang yung natira ( busy ako at merong ibang taong nagtatanong at bumibili ng items ko. Sure na sure ako na nawala iyon na walang bumibili hanger na nga lang ang natira ang ganda pa naman nung dress kulay orange tapos me broderie-brodery pa sya 3 euros ang benta ko dun. Siguro naging quits nalang nung araw na iyon nanakawan ako ng robe tapos nabili naman yung lumang sandals. Nasaan ang moral? hehehe anyhoo not bad ang aming naipon na napagbentahan ng aming mga unwanted items ay umabot sa 215.50 euros kahit pa ito ay pa-centimes centimes at pa- one euro, one euro lang.
at the end of the day in garage sale, the little spectacle continues there was a story teller in the parc ( for childrens ) and some music dance like on the photo ( my girl was dancing )
Long story! yep as i said huling-huli na ito na mag-ga-garage sale kame dito kaya sinulit ko hehehe. Next year garage sale season, abay dito na kame sa aming association dito lang sa may ibaba ng aming building. Exactly, dito lang sa amin kung saan meron ding pangyayaring magaganap na tulad nito ( music, dance, buffet , animation etc....
