Tierra Verde Community Garage Sale
In April 2009, I participated in organizing the Tierra Verde Island Wide Garage Sale. The event, which began in November 2008, was hosted by The Island Reporter, a South Gulf Beaches community newspaper.

My husband and I challenged ourselves to stop at each and every sale. We visited more than 150 of them! The photos accompanying this post wer...
