The Soggy Sale, Day 2

Well, considering the occasional downpours and near-constant drizzle yesterday, we didn't do too badly with our porch sale. We made ... ummm ... let's see ... about $75, and 20 of that is Annie's.

That comes to about $2.77 an hour for three people spending all day at this,
not counting the hours of lugging and hauling leading up to the sale.

I think we need a union.

We didn't buy pizza for dinner, as I'd mentioned in Saturday's post; instead, I made the recipe posted Friday by Leigh of Bloggeritaville on her Plates and Places blog; it was yummy; thanks, Leigh! Howard and my Dad loved it, and it was perfect for a chilly damp night.

Since we still have a whole boatload of stuff that no longer needs a home here, we have set up shop again today. After some early morning clouds, it's turned out to be a gorgeous sunny breezy day; perfect yard sale weather.


I hope we make $3.00 an hour today.

Look, Dion smells bargains!


Nope, he smells the porch, which saw the traffic of a lot of strangers' shoes yesterday.
He's going to ride out the yard sale on the porch today, wagging his tail at happy buyers.


I think he wants to make sure we don't sell the yard.

After all, if we sold the yard at our yard sale, where would he do this?


Yes, there is a follow up picture to this one,
but I decided to be discreet and spare you that particular image.

It was a tough decision; I like to go for the laugh.


One nice thing about this yard sale -- we have met some very lovely people, and That Old House just loves the compliments she is getting. (She is such a Diva.)

One man told us that ours is his favorite house in town, and he and his wife painted their house the same colors as ours. Nice guy -- he bought a vintage dresser scarf.

Happy Sunday! --- Cass

P.S. No serious offers on the Hoosier yet; I think I may
have to find room
in the kitchen after all. Gee, what a hardship!
