We have at least one Yard Sale a Year usually two or more and they are called "A Little Bit Of this and A Little Bit of That". One of the local business people we went to IRCSD with continually invites us to set up on her property on US #1 in Sebastian. These Yard Sales are alot of work and she is very much a big part of the success. Growing up we called her Little Bit because her AWESOME family had another Cindy. The name A Little bit Of This and A Little bit of That for a Yard Sale is a great way to tell about the Yard Sale and the name is fitting.
