Our closets have been over crowded since we moved in here & the boys closet was impossible to walk into without moving or taking something out first. The online triplet sale pages just weren't cutting it anymore!
Since my sister moved recently & is having a baby girl & not another boy, she had some decluttering to do too. So I loaded up all our stuff & hauled it down to Jacksonville Saturday for a good ol' family yard sale.
The sellin' was good, I had to convince myself this was not about making a bunch of money but about getting rid of a bunch of stuff! The money of course wouldn't hurt since my children continue to grow like weeds & need a Fall/Winter wardrobe. To my surprise people wanted to buy clothes by the box full, which was good by me! :)
This is all I had left after the sale :)
I should have taken a picture of the van loaded to the gills!
It was a fun morning with just my sister & I. Donna & the boys stayed home since the boys weren't 100% yet from their initial virus & my brother in law took my nephew to a neighborhood carnival. It was just the break I need for what would come that very evening... A stomach virus :(
It's always the things that you don't think will sell that sells at a yard sale. Since having kids we've had 3 or 4. Our last one was a month ago. Whatever we don't sell we either donate or sell it on KSL (similar to craigslist). I LOVE cleaning shit out. Doesn't it feel so nice to make room :)
ReplyDeleteMaking room for more stuff. (sigh)
I will continue to have them! The older the boys get the less we dress them alike (except for t-shirts when we are in crowded places) I like to sell matching sets to other triplet moms but I sure loved getting rid of so much stuff at once & not having o bother with packing & shipping :)
DeleteSince being laid off I've taken 8 garbage bags full of stuff to Goodwill. Now that I think about it, I probably should have had a yard sale too! That's awesome that you sold a whole van full of stuff. I'm sure you're loving the space it's created.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the space although we will just be filling it up with new cool weather clothes soon :)
