X'mas car boot sale

I'm gonna participate in a car boot sale with Maesy at ECP in 3 weeks' time! Details are as follows:

Location: Playground @ Big Splash
Dates: 20 & 21 December 2008
Time: 10am to 10pm


For information on how to get there or if you're interested in participating in this event, please go to http://www.sgcarbootsale.com/index.html

I wiki-ed car booth sales and this is what it said:

"Car boot sales are a mainly British form of market in which private individuals come together to sell household and garden goods. The term refers to the selling of items from a car's boot (U.K.) (or trunk in the U.S.). Although a small proportion of sellers are professional traders selling new goods or seconds, the goods on sale are often used but no longer wanted personal possessions. Car boot sales are a way of focusing a large group of people in one place to recycle still useful but unwanted domestic items that previously would have been thrown away. Car boot sales generally take place within the summer months, however a growing trend of indoor boot sales and all year hard-standing outdoor boot sales are now appearing in some parts of the UK. Car boot sales are also very popular in parts of Australia, and have a growing presence in Europe."

Yayy! I just spent 2 hours digging out stuff that I wanna sell. My wardrobe has shrunk by a third and is breathing a lot easier now. Between Maesy and me, we're gonna be selling t-shirts, skirts, dresses, tops, bags and accessories. I'll be hawking stuff from Abercrombie, Zara, Song & Kelly, Topshop, Mango, Forever 21, American Eagles, Delias, Urbanoutfitters, Gap, etc! Everything's gonna be priced really cheap ($10 to $20). If you're not doing anything that weekend, do do do come down to support us or just say hi! :)
