attempt at a garage sale

Well, I attempted my first official garage sale today. I earned a measley $30.75. I guess that's better than nothing! It was probably because of a lack of good advertising plus I didn't have a huge selection. I WAS able to get rid of the rocking chair and this pink push car, along with some little odds and ends. I think my favorite customer was this little 7 or 8 year old who came by twice. The first time he had 45 cents, but he didn't buy anything. Then he came back a little bit later with a couple dollar bills. I kept suggesting things that I thought he might like, but he said he liked this ornate picture frame that was very pearly and girly that had a resin-like girl in a wedding dress on the bottom and said "forever" on top. I thought it was a little strange, but didn't say anything. I got the picture frame as a wedding gift and never used it b/c it really wasn't my style, so I decided it was time to get rid of it. Anyway, after a little more looking around he said he wanted to get the frame as a Mother's Day gift for his mom. How sweet is that!? I wasn't expecting that at all and thought it was the cutest thing. Luckily it came with some protective foam and a box so I think it would have been OK if he would have crashed or thrown his bike down. :) I told him that I thought it was very nice of him to get something like that for his mom. Tyler was out there so maybe he got some hints! ;) I think there was about 9 or 10 people who came and only 4 or 5 who bought anything. I was really hoping some of the nicer things would have sold, but oh well. Anyway, that was my garage sale adventure.
