Garage Sale

So you all know, or have at least heard, that I love garage sales. Normally I love to frequent them more than host my own, but Texas has changed that. Garage sales are probably not as exciting for others, they weren't very popular in Idaho and kind of frowned upon, but it's a completely different story here in Texas. There are some huge sales with great stuff! I held one this last Saturday and it was a success. Morgan is on the pool board and is in charge of fundraising, so he is heading a pool garage sale next weekend and this was my chance to make some cash and donate the rest! All my girl friends brought over things and we had a ton of stuff. Morgan was headed to Idaho so it was just me, the kids and friends! The kids played and we sold; well friend Becca did most of the selling, but the rest of us watched her haggle (it was very entertaining)! I had several miscellaneous pieces that I wanted to get rid of and we finally got a bunk bed set for Beckton's room so his mismatched furniture had to go. All in all I sold just short of $500 worth of junk we didn't need. What a relief and so fun to have the cash. I cleaned out all of our closet previous to the sale and got rid of a ton of clothes. They were flying off the hangers at 50¢ and a $1.00 and the furniture went quick also. We even had lots left over to donate to the pool board next week! I tried to sell one of the bounce houses and didn't have any takers on Saturday but posted it on craigslist yesterday and have someone coming over in just a few to get it. Yay! Now I just need to sell the piano (Morgan has decided to get a fancy fancy keyboard and we don't need both)!
