Adventures in Yard Sales

It's literally been years since I have posted to this blog. What can I say? Life happens. I decided to resurrect the blog because hubby & I have decided to have a YARD SALE. This is a first. My husband has owned the Grand Rivers Elementary School building and property since the school consolidated and the little children moved out a few years back. Since that time we have been slowly filling it up with accumulated stuff. Life happens.

I also own a small "side" business in which I do contract embroidery, rhinestoning, sublimation, and vinyl lettering. I call it my hobby that ran amuk. At any rate, I have, over the years purchased many, many samples and "good deals" that have piled up. Several seasons I have had some "really good ideas" and thought it would be fun to sell my wares at a festival or event. I usually bring most of the items that I have designed, home with me at the end of the event as I always seem to over estimate how much will sell, how much I need to "do up" for the event. :-(

So...it's finally time for our first ever YARD SALE in the Grand Rivers Elementary Gym building. We've settled on the weekend of the Grand Rivers Hunters Moon Festival, both Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. I'll do my best to chronicle this adventure for future reference in case I ever have another yard sale idea and need a reminder, ha!

Here's an idea of some of the new things you can expect. For CALDWELL COUNTY, there are a number of TIGERS apparel in both rhinestones and beautiful shiny foil on royal blue shirts. Some of them are just for Tiger Mom's too! I have some really cool guys shirts for Caldwell County in sizes SM - XXL. I will be running all of the school spirit apparel at 1/2 off. I have school spirit apparel for CALDWELL COUNTY, LYON COUNTY & LIVINGSTON COUNTY.

I'll post more photos and lists as I get ready for this big YARD SALE event...keep tuned in this week for updates. So far I can tell you...we're putting in a lot of hours to get this big event ready, and we have a lot of good "stuff" to sell. The school gym is the perfect place to have this yard sale, rain or shine.
