I must leave my darling home.
So, "New Life Garage Sale for Gardening Vintage-loving artists" is happening, because no matter how beautiful, you can't take it all with you.
When
Easter Saturday 3rd April 2010, 8am to 12.30 pm.
Where
1 Canning St, North Melbourne
Tram stop 17, tram 57. Look for the balloons.
For mates I already know, there is a BBQ afterwards RSVP by Wednesday, and bring a dish and a talent to share. Babysitting for boxes of unsold goods will be rewarded, so make some space in your car or garage.
I've put some sample photos and prices here:
