With our April Fools Day snow coming, we may all be disheartened by the lingering grip of winter. This problem was the subject of my last hopeful blog- over a month ago.  A friend of mine told me that she has a name for this end of March early April time span - SprInter - the cross over between winter and spring. Splinter seems to me to carry more emotional truth but . . .

 

But I'm here to tell you that, regardless of the weather, we've set our 2011 Yard Sale Schedule. We will host the extravaganza that is the Mount Airy Train Station Yard Sales on:

Saturday May 14

   Saturday May 28

       Saturday June 25 

              Saturday July 16

              Saturday August 20

        Saturday September 3

   Saturday October 1

Saturday October 15

 

If you haven't either shopped or sold at one of these legendary events, you have to come and see what you've been missing. It is THE place for Mt. Airy to meet and greet neighbors, find bargains that are undreamt of, and have a laid back Saturday extraordinaire. It's Mt. Airy at it's best. Last year, we even had live music at a couple of sales and that was great fun as well. Maybe this will be the year that someone comes and cooks and sells hamburgers or hot dogs. Who knows what delights lay ahead.

 

In order to be a vendor you need to call us at 215-242-0854 or email us and save a spot. The spots are taken on a first come, first served basis but we've never yet run out of space. The sale officially starts at 9 a.m. and goes to 1 p.m. but eager vendors who want a particular spot show up much earlier and determined sellers often stay well into the afternoon and keep on selling. The cost is $10 per space and you pay me that morning. We don't provide tables or blankets- that's up to you.

No excuses now - start your spring cleaning and make a pile of stuff to sell or give away at one of these community yard sales.

With spring in our steps and hearts,

Greg and Cynthia

P.S. We will be at a book fair in Long Island this weekend, April 2 and 3, so Alice will open the shop this Saturday April 2. She will be CLOSING EARLY at 5:30 P.M.
