Yard sale prep

We did crazy house stuff this weekend! My parents came to visit and helped tremendously, like they always do. My pop and husband painted our white picket fence, a task that needed to get done but would have taken forever without his help. Thank you Papa!

And my mom and I visited yard sales to check out pricing and traffic. That was so fun- I love driving around our neighborhood, seeing things I haven't seen (some of the homes in New Rochelle have the most amazing ocean views!). We came away with a few pieces of wisdom:

1) definitely price each item
2) a lot of people try to sell junk. my stuff is good stuff.
3) as long as I put up good signs, people will come. I have a lot of traffic on my street, and I've got my signs ready.

We spent the rest of the day pricing and organizing the stuff. Thank you Mama! I have a few more boxes to do, but mostly ready for next weekend! I'm excited!
