My mothers friends actually bought them, which looking back, was awfully nice of them considering they all had flower gardens of their own. lol<br /><br />I did door to door selling in high school when trying to raise funds for choir trips (candy bars, magazines, etc). I absolutely hated it.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861306348634106983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-66486512901975461552009-12-28T11:12:58.148-08:002009-12-28T11:12:58.148-08:00My best friend Pollyanne and I sold whatever we co...My best friend Pollyanne and I sold whatever we could find in the house or yard...flowers, apricots, walnuts from our tree. Once we even made perfume. I shudder to think what we put in it, I think it was household cleaning liquids that smelled good to us. There was always the one lady in the neighborhood who bought whatever we were selling. Thanks for bringing that memory back. p.s.I sold girlscout cookies too but I always ate more than I sold.jamie@midcenturymaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240486435547349956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-18583571926308296072009-12-28T09:44:44.104-08:002009-12-28T09:44:44.104-08:00I will buy from any KID who comes to me selling......I will buy from any KID who comes to me selling... be it cookies, candy bars, magazines or Seeds.

I slaved for my allowance of 10 cents to a quarter and saved to buy my treasures. Funny how parents will bail you out, hmmmm have I ever done that with mine...DUH of course I have.

Most kids/people don't get past the "I want it" stage & actually do what needs to be done. <br /><br />I'd buy seeds from any kid who came by selling them! Better than candy bars or $15 popcorn, for sure!happileahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999721207374549415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-68999298400355393892009-12-28T05:51:54.439-08:002009-12-28T05:51:54.439-08:00Wow.
