I made it.
I survived.
I survived.
I survived my third rummage sale...third one in about 8 years.
Not only was I bringing out my entrepreneurial skills, but by kids did too.
It was hot.
We moved a lot of junk very nice items and made a little cash.
Not saying I want to do it again next year, but it wasn't as bad as I'd anticipated.
My business partner. Aka: mom.
This little guy was a trooper.
He sat there forever, never faltering.
He brought the cash box inside with him for potty breaks, just like I told him and marched right back out...ready to make more people refreshed.
They made $28.
And no thanks to the little sister. She drank all the product...
she kept stealing from our cash box to buy more lemonade.
It's fun (and funny) watching people rummage. I've forgotten how much fun people watching is. One man's junk is another man's treasure...that is for sure!
Some of my girlfriends showed up and bought up all my furniture and pretty things.
I love that they'll have some of my stuff.
Don't know why, just do. They'll change it and make it theirs.
One sweet friend bought a wicker sofa...can't wait to see what she does with it.
The only bad part of the day was last night when we realized Grubby Pup was gone.
Grubby is Jack's dog. Stuffed dog and is his very favorite. He sleeps with Grubby every night.
He was playing with him outside (which was a very bad idea, I know, but I was super busy and overlooked this minor detail), and disappeared.
Please pray for Grubby Pup to find his way home :(
There were a few bids on this one, no serious buyers though.
And here we are, end of day one...tired, exhausted, beat...all of those things.
Doing this alone would have been a total drag, doing it with fun people made it fun!
I'm a wee bit richer.
My house is completely purged.
Mission complete.
All is well that ends well.
The end...
Happy Sunday :)
xo,

Glad to hear it was a success & I only wish that I could have lived nearby so I could have rummaged through your wonderful stash of stuff!
