Yard sale

I have been talking about having a yard sale all spring. Well I finally did it with Lakin's help. Didn't get everything out because I ran out of space. We had 2 LARGE tables of minis and ornaments and odds and ends. Savannah had two small tables. drop leaf table with stu on it til it sold. Around 10 or 12 bins with the lids of - and they rooted around in them:) ) few hanging clothes. 2 long 6" wide boards on saw horses.  The minitures moved the most. I had them marked from 75 cents to 5 cents. They were mostly ones I had used when I set up all 4 villages I have.. One women brought up one marked 10 cents and ask if I could give her a better price. I looked at her and said the better price you want is for free. NO  most people were very nice but some were not so nice.

Friday was a fun day. The grand kids had a lemonade or water  table. Actually it was Savannah's project but little brother had to help. The people would ask what they were going to do with the money they make. Savannah told them she wanted to go to opreyland theater to see madegascar 3 in 3D. Christopher told them he wanted to buy a train engine he didn't have. Several liked that she wanted to earn the money to go to the movie and some gave them a dollar. She decided to take her bff from school also. So saturday night the whole family went to the movies.

It made for a tiring 2 days and I took a nap both aternoons It was fine til noon then someone turned the heat on. But it was worth it - got rid o a lot o stuff!  Will prob do another one in late September. I didn't get a lot o  santas out and need to get rid of a lot or ornaments.
