here's some t shirts i printed up to sell on 2nd hand shirts at our all town garage sale (yard sale in the US?) .. it's only a small town but it has a recycled festival weekend each year.

profligate |?präflig?t; -l??g?t| adjective recklessly extravagant or wasteful in the use of resources : profligate consumers of energy.

profligacy |?präflig?s?| noun

LOVE THEM! Especially the 2nd one. Are they bleach stencilled? I <3 Big Words! You're locquacious! :D

Also, yard sale, garage sale, etc. are all correct in the USA. It's just basically [name wherever your sale's being held here] + sale.

I've been to yard sales, garage sales, house sales, basement sales, stoop sales. Basement sales are popular around my neighborhood, because the back yards can be quite small, and they don't get rained out!

I like the top one the most...
Now I really wanna try screenprinting myself...
But yours were done in a professional studio?

Actually, I thought the word was 'pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconeosis', but it's actually a joke word so... there's a much shorter term for that issue...

Pippi--- You know, I love what you've done here, but I -really- enjoy your "reformed multitasker" design! So me. .... Only I'm not reformed yet. ;...;
