Today was the last day of Brett's garage sale run for the summer. He had one at our home in June and made $250 for college. Once it was over he decided that we would pack up the items that didn't sale and have one at his Grandma's in August with the town wide sales. I wasn't sure how we would do. I thought that everything was pretty picked over, but he was optimistic.
At the end of today I was very glad that he decided to try it. He was able to make $200 more to put towards his books for college. We had spent some time over last weekend cleaning out the kitchen to add to the items he had for sale. Doug and I also were able to downsize the amount of clothes we have accumulated in our closet. Brett, Mom and I also invited several other families to contribute anything they wanted to sale. We have found over the years that the more we have, the more we sell.
It must have worked as total we were able to bring in $453. Cam, Meg and Cal were happy with what they made. Our neighbor was able to sell a couple of pieces of furniture, Parce made almost $50, and Syl's daughter made him happy by clearing out some of the clothes and household goods she had stored in his garage. All in all it was a productive three days. We still have some sorting, organizing and donating to do. We decided to store some of items in Mom's attic until we have one again. It may not be next year, but as for this year we had a lot of success!!
