Our good fortune continued on Saturday when we had a steady stream of customers almost all buying customers, too. On Saturday morning, I woke up with the brainstorm to sell our sofa bed and our two brown chairs which had been a part of our household for at least 20 years. We carried them out and as soon as they hit the driveway, they sold! Our back room is now empty, but it was their time to go.
These are the cute hats that Courtney makes and sells on her Etsy site. They are a bit pricey for a rummage sale, but we did manage to sell four of them as well as a few accessories. We also gave her information our to four interested parties who said they wanted special order hats, so all in all, not a bad day for her either.
Here is our toy table before the sale started. By the end all of these items were sold.
This is our poolful of stuffed animals. We had Curious George, Sponge Bob, Snoopy, Lamb Chop, as well as a whole collection of Scooby Doos. At first, we were asking .50 for each stuffed animal, but we soon realized that people were not in the market for stuffed animals, so we started giving them away and almost emptied the entire pool. In the meantime, I know we made many children as well as a few dogs very happy. Who knew that so many people gave their dogs stuffed animals to play with?
This is the Mallory table filled with more Polly Pockets and accessories than any little girl needs and John sold them all to one lucky lady and I should add, one lucky little girl who was going to get all the stuff. Mal had Barbie stuff, too, and that all sold as well. Mallory walked away with $100.00, so not a bad haul for her either.
We had two full tables of Knick Knacks and glasswear. We emptied about a table and a half which also made us very happy.
And here is the Salesman of the Weekend showing his goods. We packed up all our leftovers and will be having another sale in September. Can't wait!
As a side note, we treated ourselves to Blue Moon pizza and beer on Friday night and to Schuett's burgers on Saturday night.
All in all , a great weekend and we still have tomorrow to recuperate!

Sounds very successful! I love the feeling of cleaning house and getting rid of things and to make a little $ to boot is just awesome. What are you going to put in the back room now that it is empty?
WEll, Kim, I am off to Ikea to purchase another futon type sofa so that Courtney and Paul will have a comfortable place to sleep when they come. Alissa and Nathan already have an ikea sofa downstairs. And, yes, it sure does feel good to clean out.
