The 21st Annual Tivoli Yard Sale Day is now just a heap of free stuff at the curb, but if you braved the traffic and the frenzied shoppers in our otherwise peaceful village, you may be in possession of a find or two.
Or, as a friend of the 212 persuasion once observed, you may have hauled home something that will end up for sale on your own lawn next summer.
As usual, Mayor Marc (as we still fondly think of him) was pressing the flesh at the four corners and handing out yard sale maps. The ambitious among us use it to guide their drive-buys.
I made a casual perusal of the highlights on Broadway (on foot and with coffee). My reward? This groovy (late) mid-century lamp table for my living room reno.
AND, "The Magic Music Box" made by the Plastic Injecto Corp. of Union, New Jersey. Includes follow-the-dots sheet music for classics like "Swanee River" and "Comin' Thru the Rye." Only $8. I know. You're jealous.
So... What did you get?

Thought for sure I'd see you - I did wave to Amnat out in front of Bamboo Thai as I drove by, map in hand! I found a 1960s Tell City Phone bench and a piece of beautiful tapestry to reupholster the seat... all for just $12. I thought Tell City had to do with the fact it's a phone bench, but turns out that's the city it's made in! Kept searching until we melted, then stopped at the burrito truck for our reward on the way home. Great day.
