It’s been a busy day! We had a garage sale from nine until three today. It was a perfect day for it, weather wise. We spent half the night and getting all the stuff ready for sale, sorting and pricing. Laura made signs which I put out early this morning. Lots of work, but it was fun. We had missed the newspaper to put in an advertisement, so we went online and put ads on UsedVictoria and Craigslist -- lots of people use those sites so we figured we’d be safe.
I’m now going to offer some friendly advise: Always put an ad in the newspaper for a garage sale! We ended up with four customers and one very sad little girl who was counting on selling a lot of her stuff to make some spending money. Lesson learned.
We are going to have another garage sale in a week or two, but this time we are definitely going to put an ad in the paper!
