I spent most of the day preparing the garage and outside for my 4 friends garage sale. But, not before the kids and I went to the Calvary Church Rummage sale in Crystal Lake. The boys were disappointed that they didn't find anything. That's what happens sometimes. I found some doilies that they lumped together for 50 cents, a glass turtle for Ethan for $1, vintage Christmas ornaments for $2 for the box, 3 Stooges ornaments for $1 and an angel thrown in. Not bad for someone having a garage sale tomorrow to get rid of too much stuff. We stopped at a garage sale on the way home and both the young boy selling lemonade and myself got stung by a bee. All I could think about was will I be okay for my sale tomorrow? (I'm fine. The sale goes on.)
Mary and Donna brought over some treasures today. I managed to find a great shabby garden frame from Mary. We'll figure out the price tomorrow. I have set up a garden area, toy area, etc. so that tomorrow I don't have to keep moving things around. I put a yellow sign on a wooden ladder in my driveway to let everyone passing know that there will be a sale tomorrow. There's a sign at the end of my block already too.
It's going to be fun! It's always a lot of hard work, but the feeling is great when my house is organized and cleaned out. Then, I can start looking for treasures again.
