My parents arrived last Thursday evening to give Dann & I a hand with our garage sale. We organized all of our junk Thursday evening and Friday, and the sale was to start Friday afternoon around 4:00 p.m. People were showing up by 2:45 p.m., thus it was a crazy afternoon. There were lots of ladies and many of Emma's baby clothes and toddler clothes sold like hot-cakes.
I did not take any photos of the numerous tables filled with our garbage, but I am sure you get the idea!!
Our Garbage...
Amazingly enough, our trash was someone elses treasure, because by the end of the second day, 90% of our items were sold. We had a few big items which sold (rug, futon & bike), but the rest of the money made was on Emma's clothes and miscellaneous clutter. We did very well and only took one bag of clothes and one box of junk to the Salavation Army Thrift Store.
Someone's TreasureThe best part of the sale, aside from the $$$$, was how uncluttered our basement, storage room and garage became! Dann and Dad spent Sunday and Monday cleaning up the garage and organizing. This made Dann so happy, until Dad found a little friend who was trying to set up a residence in an electrical outlet in the garage. Lucky for us and not so lucky for him, the "rodent" met his maker as he got electrocuted trying to build his house.
Dann was freakin' out that a mouse might have become our newest family pet. After we took a few photos of the friendly feller, Dad turffed it over our back fence into the big open field.
I was going to name him "Mickey", but then thought that might cause some unnecessary questions with Emma.

Garage sales are the best. You just get to that point where whatever is left over...should never return into your house! It's very cleansing and refreshing to purge, I find.
Yeah, I could see "Mickey" being a problem. Funny thought though! I laughed out loud! Tee hee!
