Rewind

The garage sale. The second and the last. I have to admit, we are NOT garage sale people. I don't visit them and I don't enjoy having them. We had one about 3 years ago and it was very successful but it is so much work and takes a lot of time and I swore I wouldn't do it again. Then we did. Just a weekend or so ago. What were we thinking? ARGH.

The highlight of the garage sale? "his" creativity in hanging some clothes to free up table space!


From now on I vow to donate stuff as we outgrow it, sell it on ebay in a timely matter or hand it off to the garbage men because I never want to transform our garage into a retail store again.



But it does feel good to have the "stuff" gone, when it was over we took all the leftovers to GoodWill - it was a little hard to do with some of it - but we did and we are done and it is gone and that is good!

I enjoy going to them but would not want to do one.. I like to get some toys for Sammy and sometimes clothes if they are a good deal. Yours looks a lot more organized and put together than most!

I am such the opposite. I can't wait to have our sale in two weeks. We always do so well, and it is fun for me.

I'm with you - we had 1 garage sale and that was enough for me. I was 8 months pregnant and we made $75.

Enjoy the cleared up space!

Hi Terra!

Sorry I have been such a loser and hadn't added your new blog to my sidebar. I just did it tonight.

I hope your summer has been going well! I have missed reading about you and your cute family!

XOXO

My parents had garage sales every other summer and hated them...so I vowed to always hand my stuff down to others or donate! Kudos to you for dealing with it! Hope you made some decent cash.
