I am a board member at Yardsalequeen. The Queen, Chris, was contacted by a newspaper for an interview and it turned out that it was MY local newspaper, so the Queen referred the reporter back to me. I spoke with her on the phone. She asked for my advice on both attending and having a yard sale. The article is well written - it is concise, but gives information good information. The best part? I didn't come off like a blathering buffoon! Yeah, me!

***I did tell a small white lie when she asked how much of my house was devoted to my yard sale finds. "Oh not much at all!" I said very fast and high pitched. "Not much at all!"

Oh, lovely! You sounded smart.
ReplyDeleteWell, you didn't lie. A lot of it is from thrift stores!
Wow! First you make the cake book and now the newspaper! Is Oprah the next stop? :o)
ReplyDeleteYou did a nice job in the article!
Great article, Princess!
ReplyDeleteI love it! You sounded great and I love how she included the part about The Bean going with you. And did your nose grow ever so slightly with that last little fib about your house? ;) At least it wasn't an in-person interview--no hiding your treasures then! LOL
ReplyDeleteWow, Shara...You sure are getting your name in print alot! You won't forget all the little people, right?? Seriously...it was a good story. You sounded very knowlegable without giving away TOO many secrets!! Have a great Sunday! *elaine*
ReplyDeleteYep, we get to say we knew you "when"...... That was cool of Chris to send it back your way. They didn't post a pic of you, so you can still shop incognito for now.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever consider writing for a newspaper? I read a Sunday column that is a dual between a dad and teen son and their different takes on life.
Great article! My son and I went to a yard sale last week and we each bought some used CD's for $2 apiece. When we got home, one CD case was missing the CD! It pays to look things over before you buy!
ReplyDeleteOh, Princess Shara, you are so wise (and now famous!) Great article.
