Garage Sale

This morning I hosted my second ever garage sale. This is what it looked like in front of my house at 7am this morning. Back in June, I started going through all of the kids clothes, once I realized our third child would be a little girl. I had saved almost all of the kids clothes and decided I needed to go through them to decide what I wanted to keep for Peyton and everything else could be given away or sold in a garage sale.

We have been very blessed over the past four years with a ton of baby & toddler clothes, toys, blankets, and the list goes on. I made sure to keep the important things and I was ready to let everything else go. Our neighborhood only allows garage sales twice a year on designated weekends. So I packed everything up and it was all in Peyton's room until this weekend.

I wasn't sure how the turnout would be, especially since I did little advertising and didn't even post any signs. The great thing about neighborhood garage sales is that other people do the advertising for you. I wasn't sure what to expect as far as the turn out goes, but we consistently had people all morning. I sold almost everything. There was hardly any cleanup when it was over. I load whatever was leftover in the back of the car and took it to Goodwill.

Now I can relax and enjoy my last weekend before Peyton's arrival.

I think that's actually neat that the neighborhood only allows a certain amount of garage sales...at least you know you'll probably have a really good turn out of people...which you did! =) Glad to hear you got rid of almost everything...can't wait for your little cutie to get here!!
