Ready To Relax
Labor Day weekend is a big deal here in Winchester because of the Daniel Boone Pioneer Festival. Everyone who lives near the festival has yard sales. Since my parents live within two blocks of the festivities (College Park) we usually have a big yard sale ourselves.
We worked for about a week getting things together and priced. This morning Kevin and I arrived at mom and dad’s house at 7:30 and began setting up.
Here is a view of some, but not all, of the tables.
This view shows some of the clothes we had plus some boxes of toys. This year there were a lot of toys because my sister’s kids are getting bigger so she wanted to sell off their baby toys.
There were several other tables of movies, books, and magazines plus there were big things sitting in the grass. We did very well as far as money goes. I think it really helped that there was no rain. We just got home at 5:30 and I am now ready to relax! I hope that everyone is having a great weekend!

You are exactly right! You should win a prize for spotting that!

Nice setup! We should make some sort of clothes rack for our next sale. Our neighborhood had its first annual neighborhood garage sale earlier this year and it was fun seeing all the folks. The only downside was that the ad was so general folks didn't know we'd have specific things like Breyer horses and other collectibles. Your sale looked really well organized!
