Girls Clothes Sale a Success!

My sis-in-law Heidi and I decided to have a little girls clothes sale this weekend. As Tennyson outgrew things, I was taking them to Goodwill at first, but then began feeling guilty for 'wasting' so many opportunities to make some cash.
Our family has great success with garage sales, but every time I do one, I say it will be my last! When Tennyson was about 12 months, I couldn't bring myself to take any more bags to Goodwill. I started stashing them in the garage. I was up to about 5 bins...
I used to buy 'ahead' for the girls, up to a year at times. As Spring rounded the corner, I knew I would need to buy Amaya (everything's passed on to Tennyson!) a few things for Spring and Summer. Now was the time to have a sale.
Amaya has been my little sales associate... taking clothes out of people's hands to give them more room to fill up again, and giving change.
Five of us went in and compiled quite a lot of girl clothes! We had great success on Friday (we sold about $650 worth of clothes!). Today's been a little slower, so we are going to close down early, and do it again next Friday. Thanks, Heidi, Amy, Anne, and Mom for contributing and helping to make it a success.
