Garage Sale - BUST

The garage sale was today and it RAINED!!  Everything was perfect too...
  • Family stayed the night to help
  • We got up early
  • Baked muffins to sell
  • Made 3 pots of coffee (I borrowed a 3 gallon cambro from work)
  • A mini fridge was packed with pop and water
  • Everything was out and priced
  • The books were displayed on a bookshelf
It was beautiful, artistic even.  I'm sorry I didn't get any pictures of the set up.  When it started to get lighter we noticed the clouds.  We crossed our fingers that it would hold off but at 9:15am it started sprinkling and soon after, pouring.  We shoved it all in the garage and went back in.  (Why wasn't my sale IN the garage you ask?  Well, it's a one car garage and has too much in it already--2 lawnmowers, snow blower, some storage, etc.)

I took the opportunity to drive around and look for kid toys.  Noticing that many people were still out shopping, I went home and we tried one more time after the rain stopped.  What do you think happened?  As soon as we get everything out and people are browsing, it starts rainning again! 

I made $29.
