As the week went by, I gathered as many items as I could including a TON of clothes, DVD player, CD player, a shelf, books, kitchen supplies, and office supplies. Wednesday, I decided I should probably advertise said garage sale so I place and advertisement on Craigslist (just gave a cross street, no actual address). As Saturday approached, I began to organize and set up for the garage sale. I was becoming excited and thinking about all the people that were going to show up and buy things! Friday afternoon was the penultimate day of set up where everything was in my garage, laid out on the tables, and ready to go (I can get a little OCD at times). My neighbors were intrigued and came over to see what was going on and to get a first look at the goods.
Saturday was finally here! I got up early to place everything in it's correct place in the driveway. It was colder than the Lisa Spencer (WSMV) said it was going to be but that wasn't going to stop me and all the people that were going to come and give me money! I WAS READY!
Fast forward to two hours later and only two people had showed up, I was starting to freeze and become bored. It seemed like the garage sale was going to be a bust, but I persevered. While waiting, I popped a beer and started to clean and organize my garage; something I have said I was going to do the whole 9 years I've been in the house. As the day went on, more people came periodically and I ended up making a little money so it wasn't completely a wash. And, my beautiful and talented friend Jessica Dock (by her album 'Grace") stopped by to give me some love and go through my clothes. I am happy to say that some of my most favorite pieces have gone to live in a great home with a regular fashionista! We then promptly went to La Terrazza and drank a lot of margaritas!
All in all, it was a great day, I got a lot of things accomplished, and I had dinner with a lovely friend!
The set up in my driveway!
There's nothing better than friends, Mexican food, and Margaritas!
