A clean slate after a junky sale – June 6, 2010
Remember this closet I posted a few weeks ago? We’ve been “making room for baby” and oh baby look at it now!
Then
Now
We got rid of everything in our subdivision yard sale this weekend. Check out our friend Vinnie. He was “Slashing prices all over the neighborhood!!!!”
Sam, Me, and Greyson selling what we could.
Here’s Vinnie. After he was done slashing prices he knighted my dog. Clearly she’s thrilled. Dame Ginger!
The thing about yard sales is they bring out the weirdos. (And, not just Vinnie. Ha!) There were people there at 7:30am for the sale that started at 8:00am. We WOKE UP at 7:30am people! Zip up your fanny packs and stop giving us the stink eye for just now setting up tables at 7:50am. Craig’s List could not have been more clear about our sale being from 8:00am to Noon. Later on some people just drove by and didn’t even get out of the car to look at all our junk. I wanted to flag them down and be like. “Don’t you know I have another person moving into my house in less than 5 months?! Come and buy our crap!” Maybe I should have been set up earlier for the hard-core-fanny-pack-yard-sale-freaks. Then we wouldn’t have had to cart the remaining stuff off to Goodwill at 12:30pm.
Ginger came back to one of her favorite spots after the vacuum was gone.
So, here’s our empty little room, not quite ready to fill with a little person. We left a small bookcase in there. My Papa (Paternal Grandfather) made the child’s rocking chair. (I think it’s my sister’s but, what’s she gonna do with it pre-children? Oh, I know. Leave it at my house.) There’s some awesome pictures I want to hang (More on that as I figure out the decorating situation.), and some lovely books I saved I’m hoping Baby Girl will love reading as much as I did.
Dame Ginger giving me her version of the stink eye. Well, I did rock her world by having her knighted and clearing out a favorite room in one weekend.

The "King of Garage Sales" never rests until the customer walks away with whatever piece of junk they were holding in their hand.
