'Tis the season when the grass turns green, the flowers begin to bloom, and spring cleaning begins! As people clean out their homes, garages, and I suppose even their cars, they realize that they have a lot of stuff. In an attempt to rid themselves of this clutter they gather it all together in their garage, driveway or yard, and maybe even invite a neighbor or two to do the same.

Yes everyone, I am admitting it- I am addicted to garage sales! Around the corner someone else's junk is waiting to become your treasure! Just think of the endless possibilities...everything from furniture to kitchen appliances to decor to kid's games! And alas, I live in the city of heavenly garage sales- Denver, CO. The Denver Post is no normal paper when it comes to advertising your slightly used goods. Not only can you advertise your sale, but they also place each sale on a map by region and give it a number. The number can then be referenced on the opposite page to find out the street address, and the street address leads you to the correct advertisement. It's a whirlwind of shopping possibilities! You can shop by listed goods, geographic area, OR if you know the city and surrounding areas well- street address!

No matter where you are- this Friday, Saturday, or Sunday hop in your car for a leisurely drive and enjoy the warm spring weather....and don't hesitate to stop when those neon garage sale signs catch your eye! ; ) You never know what you will find...
