About 20 homes in the Massey Victory Heights neighbourhood are taking part in this weekend’s sale. I’ll be there, hoping to add to my collection of vintage Pyrex and aprons.
I picked up a number of items at last year’s sales and am hoping to find some new treasures this year.
As they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
If you’re a collector of anything special, I’d love to hear from you and chat for a future story in The Record. Drop me a line at tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com if you find anything special or have an interesting collection you’d like to tell Record readers about.
