$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

This morning we participated in our neighborhood garage sale. It sure is nice to know the advertising will be done for you and know there will be a big turnout since many people are participating.
We had a storage room full of items we haven't touched or seen in years, plus plenty of baby gear, toys, clothes, etc. that Kyle has outgrown. It certainly was a ton of work to get everything prepared and moved to the garage, but I will tell you it was SO WORTH our time and effort. We actually had a couple of big ticket items sold yesterday to one of our neighbors.
We opened our doors at 6:45a.m. and our first customers arrived within seconds. We were still getting things moved out for display. For the next hour and a half I was having so much fun and on a high...we had so many people during this time frame. People were making piles of things they wanted to purchase. We set all the plastic kid items out in front since that is what attracts people to stop.
I have attached a few pictures of our setup in case anyone is interested in viewing them.
We sold at least 85% of the things we had out...there was an item or two we wouldn't budge on the price so we still have. I will attempt to sell them on Craig's List or put out next Saturday since the neighborhood is having the garage sale again.
It was a fun morning and we made quite a bit of money doing it...which was the best part!! Now, what can I go buy to fill our storage room back up??? I'm sure I won't have a problem finding something!
Hope everyone in the blog world is having a great Saturday!
