great success!

{borat}

thank you to everyone who helped make our yard sale a
great success!

If you helped spread the word to advertise, if you came & shopped, brought along a friend or someone with you, if you helped us set-up or take-down. In which ever way you were involved…

thank you. thank you. thank you.

we advertised 7-9 am, and we kept a crowd of people till 1pm! and by a “crowd of people,” i mean a CROWD!

these beautiful girls were my cashiers – and they were such incredible helpers, really couldn’t have done it without them! i never once heard a complaint. and they worked 6am-3pm. especially my bear. she has put in some major time lately with taking care of her little sis, cleaning, and helping me wrap up all the final items to get ready for the yard sale. she’s not only my right hand girl, she’s more like my entire right arm.

the original motivation for this yard sale was myla. a couple years ago when we had a yard sale, Kiana was the main cashier. Myla felt pretty left out and all winter has been declaring to her family that it was high time we had another yard sale. this time, it was her turn to be the main cashier.

well, with the early morning {6am wake up call} and the chilly June morning. {notice the coats/jackets} she lasted about 30 minutes. then she was off riding her skateboard and visiting a neighbor. {hehe} love that girl.some advice to anyone planning a yard sale…

advertise on KSL and craigslist {for free!} and since the economy has dipped, so have classified ad prices in the paper. the deseret news ad was only $20!

my yard sale signs that i just think are great because they are very unique and stand-out. i have used them twice now with great success, click here.

side note: because we did better than expected, there might be a round 2 and 3 this summer. In the next few weeks some of our items that haven’t sold {plus more} will be at Center Stage Performing Arts Studio when they/kiana have a yard sale/car wash as a fundraiser for nationals in los angeles this summer. I will keep you “posted” as to when that is!

happy thrift-shopping! 😉
