It's Over!

What a relief that it's over, I have been working on the garage sale for months and now it's done. I have decided to never have another one again. Some people love having them but I hate all the organising and stress that I have been under, first with the weather because it has been raining each Saturday for the last few weeks so I have has to postpone it but finally it happened.

I had great expectations but it turned into a disappointing day, I have had other garage sales and I have been rushed off my feet but today, I think with people being so busy with Christmas, not many people showed up. Everyone mentioned that I had the only sale in our local area but it seemed that only older people came and looked.

It's all done!

What to do with you?

We'll I can't complained though because in the long run it wasn't all about the money, although it comes in handy, my house looks neater without all the excess stuff piled up. But now I have the headache of getting rid of all the stuff I was unable to sell. I loaded up the car and took a load to the Salvos but I have big items such as a couch and a bed to deal with. I have put some items out on my front lawn with a free sign and I thought I could just do the same with the bigger furniture, it's just an added stress to deal with but I am hoping to have my garage all clean before Christmas.

It was a great learning experience for Miss E, towards the end I came inside and left Miss E and her friend in charge of the garage sale. A few people came and I stayed inside and let them do the sale, I have to say they did a wonderful job of it and they sold a couple of item but it was such a confidence building opportunity as well as a chance to learn how to sell things and make money. I'm very proud of them!
