On Satueday we had our first annunal street wide yard sale.
The ad in the paper and signs indicated it started at 9am. People arrived at 7:30 to check out the goods, by the time 9 AM rolled around we had made several large sales.
We had a stead crowd up until about 2pm, then we marked down the prices to 50 percent off.
At the end of the day Anthony and I made $340.00, the neighborhood total was over $900!!! We were very happy, we sold 2 old bureaus, a treadmill, a desk, and more.
Here is Babs browsing the childrens section and buying Dora blanket, books, candels, pictures, and more!!
Oh and here is Anthony taking a break from the sales....
Chelsea helped with the cashier station. Everybody loved her.
After the bbq and everyone showered, we had a neighborhood BBQ in our backyard. Everyone brought food to share. The Cronins, who have a full running farm, brought fresh hamburgers and cole slaw. Anthony inquired about getting a turkey from them for thanksgiving. They said yes so now we can visit Lulu and make sure she is eating, we can even let her play in our back yard.....Im thinking no, Ill meet her on Thanksgiving day.
It was a fun day and an easy $350 bucks! We are doimg another in the fall!!!
