5.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe all the neat things she does with scraps, January 8, 1999

By A Customer

I don't go to garage sales but after seeing her on TV and realizing I could use just the old things I already had around the house and make them over to look like things in the showrooms. Her ideas are fantastic and very creative. The fact that she recycles everything and saves someone elses throwaways from the landfill is a neat way to think about it. Even though I don't garage sale I still have them and her pricing and bargaining guide in the back helps me price the items for my own sales. I know what to price and how much I'll probably end up getting. I may go to a few sales this summer if I run out of my own stuff to work with and I'll know exactly what to pay. Thanks Shelley for making garage sales the trendy place to shop.

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS BOOK, May 25, 1999

By A Customer

I am a garage sale-er, crafty, painter, do-it-yourselfer. But this book really opened my eyes. I now look at things quite differently. This book by-passes Shabby Chic and makes any style (your personal style) attainable without having to get a second job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gets your creativity going!, May 7, 2000

By A Customer

I couldn't put this book down after I brought it home. I stuck Post-It notes all through it to remind me to try tons of her ideas. So many of her ideas are easy to do and her writing style makes me want to jump up and get started! I thoroughly recommend this book for people who don't even go to garage sales... you'll look at what you already have in a totally different way!
