Well Raymonde and I were up BRIGHT and early Saturday morning to set up our treasures for the GREAT Glebe GARAGE Sale. Jan and Ellyn had prepared wonderful goodies to sell - they were a big hit indeed!
Well we were definetely one of the firsts to have our things out for the keeners. The morning was cool and hot chocolate/coffee would have been a good item to sell with our baked goods until about 10am. Then the sun came out *thank goodness*
The flow of folks was pretty constant. Our biggest seller without a doubt was the VHS collection we had thanks to my father who agreed to part with it. He had acquired them after the closure of a video store. There certainly was variety in the casettes - mostly nostalgic classics from the 80s. I enjoyed reminiscing with purchasers about the funny bits in Uncle Buck, Goonies, The Money Pit and Harry&The Hendersons. The shoppers were great and there were deals to be made. I couldn't believe some of the cool stuff folks were picking up.
Thank Goodness I was selling at our table. Otherwise, I would have been out there shopping myself for items that I didn't need. This is the place to be if you're looking for cool things for your home.
Alright I'm getting to the good part - our fundraising effort!!! We raised over $300 and are very happy with our first effort. Now we'll put our thinking caps on for the next event that will help us gather some coin for our trip which is ~14 weeks away. Crazy eih?
This is my last day with this pedometer. It was on loan and I reckon I'll get one as I've grown accostumed to logging my steps. They're so much fun!!! GAWD! I'm a dork eih?
Today's steps thus far (8pm) = 19,395
Walk on!
