Who doesn't love a yard sale...

Our annual "2 family" yard sale started with a bang and a lot of cold rain. Well, there wasn't really a bang, but there was most definitely cold, cold rain! Considering our last yard sale was help in 100 degree heat, I welcomed the rain and 50 degree temperatures with open arms.

We rolled around at 11 in the AM today to start the big sale. We had to uncover everything and set loads of things out of the garage. By the time that was done, it was 11:30 and we already had our first customer - even though the sale didn't start until noon! Anyways, the first chick bought like $20 of stuff - 80% of that being ours. Score one for us! There were only two more people that showed before the heavy rainfall started and we had to cover everything back up.

All in all day one was a fairly decent start. Yes, we only had three people show up, but those three people spent over $60! That's $20 more that what we made last year after two days! Luckily my lovely, lovely aunt will be taking over tomorrow's sales and we'll be able to sleep in.

Here are all the glorious photos:

Clothes, anyone?

How can you pass up those prices?

Old ass cat trees.

How can one person need SO many quilt pieces?

A bunch of my uncles junk.

More...

Goodbye old friends. You served your purpose back in my GH and Rock Band days. You will be missed.

Ah! Too many purses!!

I liked to call this the round table of awesomeness.

Guitar Hero drums... barely used. 

Cookware.

My aunts' things.

More indian things of my aunts'.

I still can't believe she was selling these beautiful spurs!

More glass stuff.

Our "business" table, LOL.

Money, money, money!

A bug.

Some awesome crock style boys that I could NOT let my aunt sell!

They were just too awesome to pass up.

Zoe attacking Bart.

Believe it or not, the only time she'll have anything to do with him is like this.

Hmm, I think she's biting him here.

Una loves catnip!

She loves it so much that she sticks her entire head in.

Zoe's smooshy face.

And now she's mad.

But oh so cute.

This cat grows like a weed!! Last week he was half this size!

Day one of... The Storage Until Massacre!

Yes! The day has come! We've finally decided to eradicate our storage unit! We've been renting this thing for well over 4 years. Maybe even 5! And for what? When we first opened the door, I just wanted to set fire to it and shut the door. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible. So the demolishing began.

After only 30 minutes in we were already finding weird things (photo evidence at the bottom). And just so you know, 85% of everything in there was trash! And out of that 85%, I think 70% was old DVD cases. We used to buy DVDs a LOT! So yeah, that was the majority of the junk. We did find a few pretty cool things along with lots of clothes that were hardly used! I'm talking about nearly brand new shirts along with 5 jackets! Yeah, awesomeness! We also managed to find some pretty awesome stuff for our aunt's upcoming yard sale.

Anyway, 5 hours later and we're nearly done! We would have finished everything today, but it was after 8pm and we had lost light. We'll finish it up tomorrow as soon as we get up. It probably wont even take an hour. Until then, I'm going to go rest my tired bones...

Love & Peace

Here are the photos:

 No, you're not looking at that wrong... that's an actual mouse skeleton!

 Here's another shot of the mouse skeleton. How weird is that!? And it was just sitting there, on a cat tree.

 This is the keep pile. It got a little larger after we started adding clothes to it.

More keep items.

The majority of that is trash. Minus the cat tree.

This is the sell pile for the yard sale.

And yes, this is rice! Why in the hell was rice just sitting in a bag of clothes??

And lastly... a burned shirt. I don't remember how or when this happened. So strange...
