~Busy Morning Had a Yard Sale~

Valdosta, Georgia
April 15, 2017 2:42pm CST
Hey everyone. This morning was busy for us here because we had a yard sale. We picked a bad weekend to do this since it's Easter weekend-we weren't thinking about that. We didn't do terrible but we didn't do great either. Oh well, another week we will try again. My husband is at work now, repairing a roof. The babies are napping and I am going to be here for a bit. =) I hope your having a good Saturday!

Glad to hear that you were able to sell some things. I am sure another weekend would be better. It is nice that you have some time to yourself to mylotting a bit.

@LovingMyBabies I had my last garage sale "years ago" and it was so much work that I told myself "never again".

Could be better if I could just sit here and earn over the stress of really needing to be up and cleaning the house to prepare for the holiday and everyone being here tomorrow. I do love the family time, just not the stress of preparing for it.

@marsha32 I am sure the preparing is not much fun at all. =( I'm sorry.

@LovingMyBabies Last time I had one, my help ended up not helping me, I had to do it alone, and had people steal from me.

I hope you do even better at your next yard sale. I had an early dinner with friends after a busy day. Going to relax and watch some tv with the hubby now.

I would have thought there would have been lots of people out and about on a holiday but perhaps most were at family get-togethers.

@JudyEv Yeah I think most people were shopping at stores for Easter things or at egg hunts and things like that.

We want to have a couple of yard sales this spring/summer season. We have a lot of "treasures" that we can part with. Someone was recently telling us that they were at a yard sale and the people hosting it had a "free" table and that went over really well to get rid of some of the small useless things that we put out in the sales and often don't sell. We might try that.

I rested today, the first weekend of each month is always best for yard sales. I used to have them all the time and I tried every weekend of a month and I always made more money on that first one.
