Wow, garage sales are alot of work! HOWEVER.... After having SEVERAL of them, I'm happy to say I have the logistics of it all down to a science!
So yesterday was the community garage sale here in our subdivision, which was WAAAYY awesome as far as getting alot of people here! We were advertised, and there were 30 houses having sales, so we all gave out lists of each others' addresses to help each other out! I sold almost EVERYTHING in less than 4 hours!!!! I was extra happy about this, b/c I used my garage sale/bake sale as a fundraiser for the AVON Walk, which is coming up July 11-12. (I made 5 dozen molasses cookies, brownies, and banana bread!)
Rea, as it turns out, is quite the savvy cashier/sales woman. I may have created a tiny garage sale monster... I heard her telling Daddy that "garage sales are sooo fun b/c it's like going to a store at someone's house and shopping all day!" (sigh) Oh, dear... Her only goal all day was to make sure she sold her pink snow globe, and sure enough - she found a ready customer!
So, after all was said and done, we raised almost $200 for the AVON Walk, and look forward to raising more as the month progresses! Thanks so much to all who contributed and participated! See you next year!
