But the above comment is right--In my corner of Virginia we call them yard sales. The Amish in Pennsylvania have Mud sales which are annual auctions/sales held at a number of local fire companies selling anything from Amish quilts and antiques to local produce, buggies and lawn equipment--Sounds like a yard sale to me! :-) ~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-20895098140686271682012-09-29T18:13:31.593+02:002012-09-29T18:13:31.593+02:00Here in the States we have tons (or is it tonnes?)...Here in the States we have tons (or is it tonnes?) of words for this type of event.<br />Yard sale, garage sale, flea market and yes, jumble sale.
