Car Boot Sale<\/h1>\n

On Saturday, August 15th, I took part in a UK style car boot sale To benefit the Spencerville Mill<\/a>. My UK friends will know what a car boot sale is. The nice folks at the mill were billing it as an English style sale, but they are popular all over the UK.<\/p>\n

We could set up our allotted space any way we wanted. I happened to arrive first, so got the best ‘stall’ – right outside the entrance to the mill.<\/p>\n

Car parked where I wanted. Canopy erected and partly over the car, it was time to open the ‘boot’ and set up my display.<\/p>\n

With it being a car boot sale, I only took a small portion of my wares out of the boxes to display. Everything else remained in the trunk.<\/p>\n

As you can see from the way the table cloth is blowing, it was breezy. Good thing we had three bottles of water and a bottle of windshield washer anti-freeze and a multitude of bungee cords.<\/p>\n

You’ll notice, although it doesn’t match my tartan throw, I am wearing a red and black tartan infinity scarf.<\/p>\n

While it wasn’t one of my better sale days, I had a couple – one of which using my Square<\/a> credit card reader. I sold 1<\/strong> copy of A Shadow in the Past<\/em><\/strong><\/span> and 1<\/strong> copy of The Consequences Collection<\/strong><\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n
