Pillows and Parties

I Hosted a party/garage sale in a bachelor flat with nowhere to sit except my bed and a couch my friends had already bought, but thankfully had not taken delivery of. I displayed everything I wanted to sell in a large wall unit. The cabinet was conveniently sectioned off in to small square pigeon holes that could fit the following items:

• 7 Bags of Opened, but rarely used baking flour
• Sticks of roll on deodorant; bug spray; sunscreen – all used
• Weights and a soccer ball
• Miscellaneous books with titles such as “Some of my best friends are white” and “University of Gravel Roads”
• A blonde wig
• Cling Wrap, 2 new rolls and 1 used (Subsequently rescinded)
• Cuban Cigars in a Protein Powder Humidor
• 3 pairs of Sz 11 shoes and a matching barbeque tray with firelighters to burn the shoes.
• Sushi set including opened pack of seaweed and soy sauce
• Box o Knots; tailors tape and a bicycle tube
• Sony RX100 compact camera and sliding keyboard text phone
• Cross Country Skis
• Snowboard/Minivan helmet
• Spices
• Expired dry goods

The Outcome

• I no longer have 7 bags of flour!
• No one took me up on my award winning blonde wig – It may still be for sale at a Value Village near you!
• Value Village is owned by Walmart!
• Thrift stores are good places to buy lightweight bags and handbags
• Thrift stores are good places to buy Travel Pillows
• Do not buy a travel pillow from a thrift store the day before you leave, because it is unlikely you will have time to wash it
• Using a second hand travel pillow with no hair is recommended
• Cutting your hair off after using a second hand travel pillow is also recommended
