The long Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of garage/estate sale season, and in Leelanau County, there’s always hidden treasures to discover at the next stop.
All across the county, garage sales were abundant, whether it was held in a home, barn, tent, or actual garage, people were out and about shopping despite the somewhat cooler, overcast weather.
Tanya Popp was one of many who held an estate sale, limiting open days to Thursday, Friday, and half the day Saturday so that her own family could enjoy part of the holiday weekend. Popp said her late mother-inlaw, Annette, previously owned much of the items for sale, adding that she collected different things throughout the years, including everything from various Avon brand products and vintage dishware, to hundreds of collectible dolls, numerous books and furniture. Everything that does not sell, Popp said, will be donated.
