Yardsalequeen.com Yard Sale Garage Sale Blog

I'm Chris and I am addicted to yard sales, garage sales, thrift stores and bargain hunting in general. Visit my site yardsalequeen.com - which I started in 1996. "Smile" and "VV" (Vintage Value) are the names of two thrift stores I regularly shop at. I grew up in Clifton Park NY but now live in Lusby, MD. I also lived in other exciting locales such as Schenectady, Watervliet (NY), and Charleston, SC.

Chris the Yardsale Queen
Lusby, Maryland, United States
I have a wide variety of interests: going to yard sales, garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales and rummage sales. Drinking rum and diet coke. After I had my son Jacob in 2000, I quit my job at a nuclear power plant after almost 10 years. Now I just sit home, eat bonbons and drink way too much diet coke. And plan my Saturday routine.
