I have been saving stuff for a garage sale for at least the past 3 years. Seriously. Since we have storage space, it wasn’t much trouble to keep saving things, but I decided a while ago that this summer was the time. Purging must happen. And so…
A garage sale.
I probably should have taken a bunch of pictures of the set up. I was too busy getting organized, I guess. My clothes hanging apparatus was really quite genious. And having been to a gazillion garage sales myself, I know for a fact that kid’s clothes sell better if they are hung and not just piled on a table. Sell better indeed. I cleared a bit over $350. Job well done.
And many thanks to my friends and family for contributing, helping and even opening a little restaurant on the front lawn.
That is so AWESOME! Clearing $350 in one day is the kind of job I’d like to have!
WAY TO GO!!! I’d have a yard sale tomorrow if I thought I could clear that kind of cash … so what was your best item for sale?
And do you think having a impaired brother around, helped or hurt sales?

Whaa! you do!
Ha! This movie is hilarious. And it is exactly how I felt.
That’s manicures for a year!
Lauren clears $350 a day?! Sign me up!
OK Beth – I’m looking at your nice little stickers all arranged with little lines through them and I’m thinkin’ … OCD? Reminds me of … me!
Congrats on the success. I remember those days when the kids were young and we were trying to get the most for our Little Tikes and Fisher Price items … good times, good money!
