AT THE YARD SALE

Linda, Diane, and I prepared for the yard sale on Friday. First we carried boxes and items to sell into Diane's large truck and drove them up to the carport. There we unloaded and put the items on tables under Linda's large carport. When all the items were out we went about rearranging them into like categories and making them appear a little more appealing and related instead of random objects. Early Saturday morning before the sun was up the first antique dealers showed up. They all greeted each other. All morning there was a steady crowd and Linda sold a lot of her antique toys and Christmas items. There was a steady stream of customers all day and things sold quite well.
On Sunday there was just a trickle of people but they bought a few things. We started packing it up about three in the afternoon and loaded the truck, put away the tables, and declared the yard sale a success. The leftovers were taken to the Goodwill and Salvation Army but a few items were kept and we all ended up with some things to take home.
During the slow times on Sunday we had fun completely rearranging Linda's living room. We moved a heavy bookcase and used her clock collection and her books to make a pleasing arrangement. We also arranged her pheasant collection with pots of herbs to make a nice shelf vignette.
