THANK GOODNESS WE ARE NOT EXPECTING ANY RAIN AND THE TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE IN THE LOW 70S TOMORROW....
OK, ENOUGH FOOLING AROUND. HERE ARE A FEW MORE PHOTOS...............

Posted by: Laurie | November 23, 2008 at 11:23 AM
I wish my garage sale could look as beautiful as this. You're a genius!
Posted by: Tamar | November 23, 2008 at 01:07 PM
Dear Fifi,
I hope you are propped up on a cushy sofa with a hot water bottle across your feet and a good glass of wine in your hand. What a fabulous production your yard sale was today.
I had just the best time ever and have been going between blogging about it and decorating my home with wonderful "new to me" finds all afternoon. Thanks for sharing with all of us. My daughters think I am the coolest mom today for bringing them along to your sale.
When you ever have a moment visit hello sunshine to see what I am doing with my goodies. Hugs. Bonjour, Marcy

And here I thought I was the only one that thought a garage sale should be beautifully arranged/staged/decorated! LOL! Hope your day was successful Fifi.
Hugs,

Sweet Fifi,
Only YOU could have a "garage sale" that looks like a Designer Showcase!!! Hope it goes (or went) well!
hugs, Heidi
Posted by: Heidi Woodruff | November 24, 2008 at 12:51 PM
WOW Fifi dear...that doesn't look like any "garage sale" that I have ever seen. I may have driven up to Sarasota had I known in advance. I hope that you sold it all! ~XOXO~Janet
Posted by: Janet (Shabbyfufu) | November 25, 2008 at 09:06 AM
Everything looks so enticing! I'd leave broke for sure if I lived in your area!
Posted by: Lana | November 25, 2008 at 09:20 AM
Wow !!!1 You had some beautiful treasures at your yard sale.....out with the old, in with the new (or maybe old new treasures )...loved the way you set it up....

Hi Fifi,
my gosh, what wonderfull and sweet stuff. The old pottery and glass I love most of all.
I just showed the pictures to my husband, and all he said was "thank god, we´re living far, far away!" ;) If I had a chance I would help you geting some space in your home by buying the most of it :) If you can imagine to send something (small maybe) overseas someday, I beg you, please let me know! :).
So far I hope you had a great time with the sale and everything worked fine.
Thanks for your inspirations!
Wishing you a fantastic week,
Mone from the too far away Germany ;)
Posted by: Mone | November 25, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Oh My gosh Fifi!! If I lived closer, I would just come and take it ALL off your hands!! So much beauty!
Have a beautiful Thanksgiving!
Hugs,
Amy

What a great garage sale you must have had. Lucky people who got to come!
We go to Longboat Key the week before Christmas every year. It would be so amazing if I could get to meet you while we're there. You're probably too busy though?
Happy Thanksgiving,
Hugs, Rhondi
Posted by: Rhondi | November 26, 2008 at 01:40 PM
Oh my....I live in Florida and I love to come and see Marc and Susie and I would have loved to have been at your garage sale!!
If you ever do one again Please let me know.
It would be so nice to meet you as you have given me hours of reading enjoyment. I have yet to toss a magazine that your name was in.
Happy Thanksgiving

Ok now that you have tempted us with all your wonderful stuff please tell us how it went....and is there anything left for those of us far away...say WV... to add to our collections? I have never been to a sale like yours...it would be heaven!
Posted by: Rachel | November 30, 2008 at 09:03 AM
How I want to come to this sale!!! I would have a hard time parting with so many of these pretties! Shabby chic is hard to find around my area so I hold on tight!!

oh how fun... such lovely eye candy.
yard sales are so much funner to go to than they are to have that is for sure. loads of work organizing/setting up everything. now that it is over pour yourself a glass of wine..count the money..and sigh with relief..ha.
would have loved to have shopped there.
Posted by: Tina Michelle | November 30, 2008 at 10:52 PM
Too bad I live so far away from you... I'd be the first one out there trying to figure out what treasures I would take home with me... everything looks divine...

Dear Fifi, I love your blog and your work in Romantic Country. My client has a DIY flower arranger called Blossom Crown that sells very well. I was wondering if you might want to include it in your next sale! Or maybe write about it in an upcoming issue. Check it out at www.blossomcrown.com
Kind regards, Lisa
