Jennifer Estep Teenage Garage Sale

Greetings and salutations! First of all, I want to thank Literary Cravings for having me on the blog today. Thanks so much, Literary Cravings!

So today, Literary Cravings asked me to list some of the things that folks would find if I were to have a garage
sale of stuff from my teenage years. I thought this was a really cool blog idea, and it was fun to think about the things – good, bad, and geeky – that I was interested in back then. So here goes:

My large collection of Baby-sitters Club and Sweet Valley High books: Asking price of $50. I loved collecting books in both of these series, and I can’t even tell you how many times I read and reread these books.

A couple of Care Bears: Asking price of $5. I loved Care Bears too when I was a kid, although they eventually got shoved to the back of my closet sometime during middle school.

Old copies of magazines featuring New Kids on the Block: Asking price of $15. New Kids was one of the hottest bands when I was younger, and I bought more than a few magazines just to stare dreamily at the guys. (Joey was my favorite.)

Hot rollers, a curling iron, and a giant bottle of hairspray: Asking price of $10. Can you tell that I spent way too much time on my hair when I was a teenager?

An electric keyboard: Asking price of $20. I probably drove everyone crazy trying to make “music” on this keyboard.

Roller skates: Asking price of $10. I liked roller skating, but falling down definitely got old after awhile.

A slightly used, slightly battered bicycle: Asking price of $25. I liked riding my bike, although it seemed like I wrecked it more often than not.

So there you have it. Some of the things that would be in my teenage garage sale. Scary, isn’t it? LOL.

What about you guys? What would some of the items in your teenage garage sale be?
