My Garage Sale Prep

I have been really busy this week preparing for my garage sale!
I went through my WHOLE HOUSE!
2011 04 11_3345
I mean EVERYTHING!!!
2011 04 11_3346 
I have been pricing….
2011 04 11_3348 
and pricing!

I used these labels.
2011 04 11_3343
I am on a “get-rid-of-mode”!!!
2011 04 11_3351 
Here I am pricing again!
2011 04 12_3314 
Here is my sister-in-law, Ann Marie,  from White House, Black Shutters.  We are having the sale together! :)  It is more fun to do it with someone.
2011 04 12_3315 
I am finally parting with some my wooden toys.  :(  I love them but we need to make room for more.  The kids need older kids toys now.
2011 04 12_3319 
We also went through all our games and puzzles.
2011 04 12_3321 
I went through all my Christmas deocr.
2011 04 12_3323 
Here are our dishes and home goods.
2011 04 12_3325 
Here are our fall decorations.
2011 04 12_3326 
Here is our table for home decor items.
2011 04 12_3328 
We have a lot.  Too much! That is why I am selling a lot.  I want to live more simply!!!
2011 04 12_3329 
Yes,  I had way too much!!
2011 04 12_3330 
It is time to part with STUFF!
2011 04 12_3331 
I loved this book holder!!!
2011 04 12_3332 
More decor!
2011 04 12_3334 
It never ends, lol!  Setting this up was a lot of work.  I am so lucky that Matthew took his nap from 1-5:30pm!!!  Do you think he will do that again?  ha
2011 04 12_3335 
More!
2011 04 12_3336 
I have baskets galore!!!  I still need to bring more out.
2011 04 12_3337 
We have bins under the tables ready to bring out on the driveway on the day of the sale.
2011 04 12_3338 
My little guy played outside while we set up!
2011 04 12_3339 
We are almost ready!
2011 04 12_3340 
We still need to advertise and I am going to search my house again!  It feels good to clear out!
2011 04 12_3341 
I love this basket too!
2011 04 12_3342
I am going to keep working on it this week!  I will keep you updated!
Are you having a garage sale this year?
Have a great day!
Bonnie :)
