Barbootsale This Saturday

I'm doing a junk clear out, and trying to make a few quid while I'm at it. My friend Nora runs a pretty cool event called The Barbootsale(like a car boot sale without the car, with a bar and DJ instead!). I've talked about it before in this post, and bought some cool things at it too, but I've never sold anything at it. After my mammoth clear out recently I've had a bunch of clothes sitting in a pile in my room waiting for someone else who will love them. I've also decided to sell off lots of my cds as I don't listen to them anymore and I have them all on my computer already. I also have a sony mp3 player that I'm tempted to sell....but I'm in two minds.
To beef up the selection I'll take some books from Bazaar Tales, and also some button rings too as I think they will be popular with the crowd. Stuff better beware in my house over the next couple of days, if it's not nailed down it's likely to be shipped off to the barbootsale.

If I get at all organised I might take some photos of the clothes and post them on facebook to drum up a bit of pre-sale excitement.

It's on this Saturday in 31 Thomas Street (aka Dr.John's), and it's 2-6pm.

Bar-Bootsale in Bakers

I love being friends with proactive people who do something positive rather than moaning about how crap/boring their life/city is. My friend Nora is one such person, she is always busy organising something or other. One of her more recent projects is the Bar-Bootsale, a carbootsale without the cars and with a bar instead. Where poor cool people go to sell their stuff to other poor people who like to buy cool stuff, it works out well for everyone!

This time the event will be taking place tomorrow in Bakers Place (Limerick), 1pm-6pm. I'm hoping I can make it in after the market to have a bit of a gander around. Last time I picked up a great dress for only a fiver and there was tonnes of other great stuff too. I like the idea of having a beer while shopping, although I'm still on the dry so I won't be partaking this time.

Also graffiti artist Square Bear will be sell some hand drawn badges there (made by your truly, so buy 'em up so her orders more!!), and also Dish Pig will be selling some of his graffiti art too, hopefully it won't be sold out by the time I get there as I want to get a few for myself.
