My garage sale was this last weekend…
And I survived! Hooray!
We had 3 lamps for sale and none of them sold so it inspired me to create today’s weird bird:
Yes, it is made in the shade…
Wearing a lamp shade! Haha!
Or perhaps, it is a shady character:
Whatever shade of blue this is…
I hope my silly bird gives you a smile today!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 😃

I love the background for bird one. It’s a very creative use of pages from old books.

Hi Laura Kate, I love using old book pages. I think I used a brayer with leftover paint on this book page. It is from a very old book on trees. 🌲

He’s the life of the party, a little overserved with a lamp shade on his head 😂

I didn’t sell any of my Mary Engelbreit tea cups at my garage sale. Guess their is no demand for them.

It did give me a smile! Isn’t it strange what sells and doesn’t? I can never figure it out. (K)

Hi Kerfe, it is interesting what sells! We are pleased that we had nice weather and sold most of our big items. It was a lot of work though. I think this is probably my last garage sale! 😉

Love his lampshade! 😊
Garage sales are a lot of work. Those teacups sound delightful. Happy Wednesday, Jill! 💚

Thanks Patty! ❤️ I think it is my last one… but it was fun talking with the people who bought things. It was a process of letting go for me as so much was my parent’s things. I will always have the memories though. 😍

I think it will take me some time to recover from the garage sale… I had a good nap today! Lol! 😴

They are work aren’t they! I rarely have done them. We’re having a neighborhood one in June and I think I’ll just shop it then have a nap. 🤣

Hi Jill, well once again you have excelled. Sorry about you being left with the lamp shades but I’m sure if you put them on Marketplace (if they have that on Facebook in the US) someone would want them. We had a BBQ left out for hard rubbish which our neighbour put on Marketplace for him and it sold within a day!

Hi Sally, FB marketplace is an excellent way to sell things, I agree! 😃 It is always interesting to see what people buy. We were very pleased with our sale although it was a LOT of work! 🤪

Wonderful lamp shade bird. Garage sales are so much work aren’t they? But it feels good to get rid of stuff we have accumulated over time. And you still had energy to create that whimsical bird too! Kudos to you!
