I Hate Yard Sales...But Love The Money!

Today was my yard sale with my family in my hometown of Warner Robins. I am sooo tired...I have been worked like a dog. Literally, my dog was better off than me today. She was relaxing while my mom and I were doing all the heavy lifting, sweating, organizing, and dealing with the masses. I have learned one thing from today. I HATE YARD SALES....

I may hate yard sales because I went to our local Goodwill and found a few things that caught my eye. My mom and I should have been at home organizing our items, pricing it all out, and getting a good night's rest since it was supposed to open at 8 am. We didn't get home until 9 and I didn't hear the end of my mom's mouth. lol! But to make a llllloooonnnggg story short. We went to bed at 3 am. Not so good when you have to be up ready to negotiate with costumers and be alert for four hours.

 These are the pieces that kept me in the Goodwill longer than I wanted to be there. I found some cute breezy shorts; I am loving longer shorts now. It's so light and like pj's but trust I won't wear them like that though. I want to jazz it up with a nice silk shirt or something. Then these earrings I found. They're clip-ons but I am going to turn them into studs. Stay tuned for the DIY!



Now this dress.......I love it. I have been looking for cute summer dresses with cut-outs. I am going to cut it just above the knees. I love the color and the fit, although it may need to be taken in just a tad.

At the end of it all, it really wasn't that bad. I love to people watch and I got an unexplainable enjoyment out of watching people peruse our junk *ahem* treasures. And the chunk of change we got wasn't so bad...we'll do much better next time. And now I am in search of some yard sales to take a gander at...wonder if those people hate love yard sales as much as I do! :)
