I’ve always loved going to sales – garage sales, estate sales, auctions, moving sales – no matter. I learned a lot about restoring antique furniture, and then carrying it up two flights of stairs. To be successful, I think you need access to free or really cheap bulk sale items. I didn’t.

I already had saved up a box full of wine bottles, in hopes of selling them at my next garage sale, so we didn’t have any cash outlay for those. The events I chose were: 1920′s Charles Lindbergs New York to Paris flight. 1930′s Amelia Earharts disappearance. 1940′s Victory in Japan day.
