Garage Sale Day Two

My favorite shopper today. She tried on all of my shoes. She walked really well in the heels.


She wanted to sit and work beside me. So of course I let her.


Sarah and Cloe bored to death. They sold about $10 total. Mike and I bought some of that. It was pitiful.

Good riddance!

I am so glad to be done !! It's such a big project. A full 40 hour work week for one sale. Lots of shoppers came today. If I would have had more stuff to sale I would have set a record this year. By 10 this morning I was cleaned out. Top sellers included scrapbook items, Sarah's clothes and decor. The men of course all asked for fishing gear and lawn mowers. People are fascinating. They bought rocks sitting on the edge of the driveway. I am serious. They just assumed they were for sale and I let people buy them. The fitness items as always you can't give away. The workout clothes and dvds went to Goodwill. Three ladies in particular were hateful as they bargained. People expect to buy leather coats for $1. I just look at them and say "It's leather and they look back and say "This is a garage sale." I could easily rant for a while on this topic but it's just part of it. I wish now with the amazing turn out I would have held firm on some things. I just have to think it all evens out in the end. You never know what people will go for and I hate to turn down any sale. On the positive side I talked with some delightful people. I discussed all things Chihuahua with one lady. Another lady took a tour of my scrap room she is a CTMH consultant. I am sure I will get to know her better. One lady bought items for her disabled students just to make their day. At least two people told me the stuff was going into their resale/antique booth. Hmmmmm. I could do that.
