Garage Sale

Today we had a garage sale to raise money for the Girl Scout trip to San Francisco in April. I had no idea, but you have to get a permit from the city in order to have a garage/yard sale. The city limits each house to two sales per calendar year.
It took a lot of prep to get everything ready for the sale because all of the girls' families donated items to sell. We even had friends who were willing to donate items to us to sell. Kevin and Kristin came over at 5:45am to help us set up. The sale was scheduled to start at 7am, but we had our first customers at 6:15am.
Although the parents did more work than the girls, they ended up making $650. There were a few big ticket/popular items that didn't sell that we held on to so we could try to sell in other ways. We also kept any clothing, shoes, and books that did not sell to donate to a specific charity organization. All of the housewares, toys, etc. that did not sell were dropped off at Goodwill. Once everything is sold, we'll probably have a little over $700.
