At Last

Another Update: Friday evening. The second day of a garage sale is never as good as the first but making about half of what you make the lst day is about right--and I did. It still looks like I have a ton of stuff but I did get rid of the two bikes and a couple of other big items. A couple of gals were in and said that my prices on my glassware were in line with what people spend at auctions. They seemed to know what they were talking about and could even name a bunch of the antique dealers by name. I am getting a lot of reading done however. I finished one book and started another on. Mr. Snowbird did agree to leaving his car outside the rest of the summer so I didn't have to pack everything up and put it away. I want to have another sale in August. I still have a ton of stuff that I can drag out to the barn--or down from the attic of the barn. Anyway, that's my day today.

Update: Thursday evening. Well, today was the first day of my sale. As I figured, people were lined up before I even opened. When you mention vintage or antique in your ad, you know it will be crazy. And it was! As you could see by the pictures below, I had a bunch of stuff I had to move outside. Even though they could hardly get through the aisles, they were pushing each other to get in first!!
Usually the first wave is made up of the antique dealers. I guess my prices were a bit too high for them since not too many wanted my things. Oh well. I guess one of them liked what he or she saw but didn't want to pay for it. I found, during the day, that an old Evening in Paris Atomizer worth $95 (I had a cheaper price on it believe me) was missing!! This happened to me several years ago when a Fenton plate came up missing. I don't understand people, sometimes, I really don't. Oh well. Anyway, I did sell a lot of stuff today. It doesn't look like it when I look at everything I have left but I'm thrilled. So, I still have two more days of sitting in the barn/garage and it is supposed to be in the mid 90's both days. Ugh!!

Remember this??

And then this??

And finally--this??

Well, now it looks like this.

And finally, this!!
Yeah, I know it looks like a mess again but all the stuff in the aisle goes outside tomorrow so all of my customers can buy and buy and buy.


So what do you want to buy??

And yes, Karen, I'm getting rid of the Pack N Play and the other crib. I figure by the time you visit us at this house, your kids will no longer fit in them. I doubt if they would now. Oh, and did you want the painting of Uncle Al??
