Okay so this weekend (yesterday and today) I had a garage sale over at my aunt’s house. I just had to get rid of some big kids furniture items I had and make room in my storage area to walk! I actually started by just cleaning out some kids items and then realized I had so much other items I should get clean out too! So my hunt began, room-to-room I went and I didn’t leave until I filled at least one box. Now I am not a packrat but I do hold on to items that I think I might find a use for later on or someone else in my family may need. I am the oldest of six, so I am always thinking someone can reuse stuff I want to get rid of!
I ended up with two minivan loads of items, granted a few items were big like a new car seat, baby bouncer, kids wagon, and just a lot of boxes! I probably could have filled a truck if I thought I was done having kids but I secretly (I guess it is not a secret anymore!) want more. I love my boys but I do want to try for a girl, not that I wouldn’t love to have another boy (which I already have a name for!)
Anyways, so Thursday night I helped my aunt set up and Friday morning bright and early we opened up. It was a beautiful day, which helped, and he really did have a lot so we got a lot of customers because of how many tables we had out! I sold a lot of my big items and a few educational toys but really that was it. I was surprised I didn’t sell much of my house wares or clothes, but I was happy to get rid of anything I could! Today, though the weather was dreary and drizzled so we had a total of three customers. Since everything was already on the tables, we left and kept the tables in the garage. I am planning to have a half-off sale next Saturday and hoping to sell the rest of my junk, I mean wonderfully useful items! I was happy though, I made just over $150, which I did do a lot of prep, set-up, and sitting outside for the sale but it was all extra money in the end!
