[I'm sorry for the blogging hiatus recently - my only excuse is that life has happened. :) We've had so much going on but I already have a list of things I'm ready to sit down and write about so hopefully this summer will lend me the time to do so!]
Natalie, Kim and my mom all cleaned out their houses and contributed to the sale. We also had a few people from our community give some things, and some stuff was donated from a church wide garage sale our church had earlier this year.
My mom, Natalie and Kim all helped out working it and organizing it because I had to be at work a lot of the time. I am so thankful for these three women!
I teased my mom and said it was the least successful garage sale of all time! Ha! I only say that because in the 3 hours that I was able to work it not one person came!! We ended up making a good little profit. As we were saying all weekend ... every little bit helps!
There were some fun finds in our little sale ... it was fun to see the things that each household was ridding themselves of.
One of them was this amazing Avatar mask that our friend Nathan did not realize he was getting rid of (you can thank his dear wife Natalie for that!). My dad thought he needed to model it and soon thereafter it sold! (For $5.00!)
We were all shocked that the most valuable item in the garage sale did not sell! Our dear sweet friend Kimmie did this self portrait in college and she has been hiding this little gem away for years. We're thinking the garage sale audience did not realize what a masterpiece was in front of them and it might need to hit the auction scene in order to get it's true value in profit. ;)
(Kimmie, just get ready because this little thing might start making it's appearance in all kinds of fun places!)
Once again we have been incredibly humbled by the support we've been given in helping to fund our adoption. Thank you mom and dad and to the James' and Harrison's for giving of your time and resources!
We also contributed an entire room of furniture to the sale in order to clear out a room to make a nursery -- I'll hopefully be putting up a post about that soon!
