The Purge

We had the first day of our first yard sale today... And it was a success! :)  I might have priced things a little low and bargained a little too much but we did manage to make $120 and get rid of a ton of stuff.  There is still more to go so I think I'll open back up tomorrow for a little while as well to see if anyone shops on Sunday (I'm doubtful but it won't hurt to try).   Amy (Indiana neighbor) is going to try again in a few weeks... I may join her then as well to unload everything else.  It was fun meeting new neighbors and it always feels good to purge a bit too.  You accumulate a lot in 10 years... and I'm decent about selling stuff on eBay and Craigslist when it piles up.  I guess I buy too much. :)

Hope you are having a lovely weekend...

Yard sales are among my favorite things. I once furnished an entire cottage with stuff I bought at yard sales.

Wish I could have gone to yours. :)


Peace,

Very cleansing. Yard sales are awesome--both to host and to visit!
