Our Yard Sale~~Today~~Lots O' Stuff!

I was up at 4:45 this morning so I could have time to send email and talk to my BFF Suzy on the phone. Oh yes, she was up at 5:15 a.m. and on-line. I called her on her cell. She is one of the few people in the world who I want to begin my day talking to. After we chit chatted, we bid our good-byes because we were both having yard sales today! We live 3 hours away from each other, and we were thrilled that the weather was going to be great for both of our neighborhoods which were both hosting neighborhood-wide yard sales.

So, at 6:15 I started, with a HUGE amount of help from my dear hubby, hauling stuff outdoors. I couldn't believe how much stuff we had! Here are a few pics of our sale (they were taken around 8:30, and yard salers had been there for over an hour before so there's alot of stuff already sold by the time I could pull out the camera).

These are the breakable things. By the end of the day most of them were all gone!

My dad donated lots of cigar boxes. I sold them all for $1 each!

I got rid of lots of Halloween stuff and these lighted houses.

Here's our neighbor's boy with his purchase! He said he was going to scare his little sister!

I sold the whole box of snow domes to a man for $2! He was thrilled to have them. I was thrilled to sell them--to make room for new stuff ;)

As you can see it was very shady in the morning. But as the day wore on the sun came out in full. By 1:30 when we shut down it was toasty hot! Don't tell Suzy, but I put the rice cooker she gave me in the yard sale and sold it to the oldest woman in the world for $4.

Lots of dogs came by to visit. Our dog, Sheila, went crazy on her bench by the living room window every time we had a four-legged guest. Here's a neighbor's sweet Pomeranian!

The teeny troll looks out of place with the boxes and other misc. goodies my Mother-in-law donated. The elephants herded off with a sweet couple who are decorating their home in an Indian/Bollywood theme. The woman showed me her henna tattoo on her hand, but did I have my camera ready? Noooooo!

At the end of the day this fancy bear, from my late grandmother's house, didn't sell. I offered it to one of the neighbor girls and she danced away with him. I know her mother was thrilled to have ANOTHER stuffed animal in the house!

I hope you all had a great day! Let me know what you found yard saling today!

XXOO, Beth
