Successful Yard Sale!

Our community held it's bi-annual yard sale this weekend.  We thought we should do it to try to raise money for the adoptions.  We had several friends donate items to the sale.  We are so appreciative because we sold most of what they donated. :-)

We were afraid of the weather.  Just as the sale officially started, it rained. Yep. Of course. So we hurried and brought things in the garage.  Then the rain stopped.  And it was a beautiful evening. 

Same thing happened on Saturday.  But thankfully the rain brought cooler temps for a while.  It did not rain long and TONS of people came out to the sale.

Abby & Jadyn did great.  Over the 2 days, they collected $56 selling sodas & water.  A few people just donated money.  We had a sign on their table explaining why they were selling the drinks. We had 1 lady ask us if this was true.  We said 'yes" and she said "I'm adopted too. But from Korea". She gave them $14 for 2 waters & 1 can of root beer.  So sweet!

We got rid of a lot of stuff. Stuff that was just going to go to Good Will.  And we made $466.  Not bad.  So our total came to $522.  We are thrilled. 

Thanks to our friends who donated items to our sale, and to our friends who came out to the sale. 

We're thinking about doing the sale again in April. We have a couch & some end tables to sell.  So if you'd like to donate to the April sale, start saving your things now.  :-) 

Here are some pics from Friday & Saturday.
