Robin's Retail

Robin's Retail was the place to be, with all sorts of stuff flying off the shelves.

We had a garage sale and what a crowd! But, where else in Gustavus can you buy such products as coffee makers (we had 3), battery-operated lanterns (we had at least 6), foot/pedicure spas (2) and many, many, many more multiples of all sorts of essential items no one should live without. (When I say "we", I mean pack-rat Robin!)

The great deals drew shoppers from up to 9 miles away, with literally wall-to-wall people. We had three $1 tables set up -- what a hit. At one point, there was even a traffic jam and people had to walk from two driveways away!

Fortunately, the weather cooperated and it was a (relatively) warm, (relatively) sunny day. By the end of it, shelves were bare and so were the tables.
