High School Musi. . . I mean, Yard Sale!

Tuesday - Monday
Some of everything!

All for the high school yard sale, to benefit the yearbook - two big boxes gone, so far! These are just some of the things gone away:

Tuesday: a video player. . . they say someone will want it, and be glad to buy it, so: hooray! That's opened up a nice gap of empty storage space - now, the goal is to not fill it back up again. . . to leave that nice clean stretch of breathing room unfilled!

Wednesday: a tiny tea set, very sweet, but not so beloved that it has to be hung onto into perpetuity. Now it's (I'm) ready for some child to take it home, play with it, and make their own memories.

Thursday: Barrel Full o' Monkeys and other small games. They were lots of fun, back in the day, but they've been sitting, unused, for too long at our house. . . now someone else can enjoy them.

Friday: water dispenser thingy - will it be "just right" for someone?

Saturday: Disney coffee mug: it's shocking how difficult it is to give away "name brand" stuff. . . but, geez, it's just a mug! I'm guessing that it will sell quickly, because of the characters on it ("collectible!"), and so it will bring a little cash to the Yearbook Committee, and so: that's a good thing!

Sunday: a very pretty porcelain dish - again, hard to let go of, but it's just not right for us, and could be perfect for somebody else, so here's the opportunity to do the right thing. . . right?!

Monday: a star-shaped cake pan. . . ooh, now there's an area waiting to be edited: all those storage drawers in the kitchen. . . full of what. . . now there's a challenge!

It's turning into a fun game to walk through the house, pick up random thingies, and add them to the go-away box. I hope the yard sale is a huge success - and I hope we don't come home with more than we gave away!
