rummage

A sale of secondhand items, held in a driveway, garage, or front yard. They usually take place on Saturday mornings in summer.

From rummage sale, so called because it is a sale where you can freely "rummage" (or sort) through things in piles or boxes.

They typically include used clothes, old records, ancient appliances, Happy Meal toys, potholders, small brass deer, broken watches, coffee cups, and "crafty" Christmas decorations. Each sale is different, and finding something good is not a guarantee. (One might argue that it is actually unlikely, as you are sorting through someone else's cast-offs.)

It's main appeal is the thrill of the hunt and the chance at finding a real bargain.
You wouldn't believe the find I got at this rummage today! A nearly complete set of beat-up Beatles albums! AND a broken record player on which to play them!

Ruika

Ruika.

Ruika is a sweet girl that will act motherly to anyone. She’s willing to open her heart up to mainly everyone. But if you ruin that chance, she will never forget it. Mistakes and Memories are permanently glued to her head. Ruika is most likely a short girl with a big imagination. You’d be lucky to ever come across one.
Ruika is caring...
