Trains, Cars and Garage Sales

Posted in Life

I'm here.  Things have just been busy and me time on the computer is very little these days.  It took me 2 weeks to get pictures from the end of our Middle Ages study downloaded and posted.  I just can't figure out where the time is going.  I need about 5 more hours in a day!

We had a garage sale this weekend.  It was mostly to try and sell some of my dad's collectibles, specifically the trains and cars.  A close friend heard about the sale and asked if she could bring some stuff over also which just made it more fun! :-)  We got about a third of the trains out of storage and my mom's attic.  Dh and I tried to find as many selling prices as we could for them but we are going to invest in a good train collectible book.

The sale itself went very well.  My friend and I sold almost all of our items and my mom was able to sell some of the collectibles.  We made a good couple of hundred dollars and my mom even earned enough for her trip over Thanksgiving to spend time will all her sisters.  We ended up buying my friend's loft bunk bed set for the twins' room.  I had been wanting to get rearrange their current bed set up, which is a daybed with a trundle always out, to make the room look a little bigger.  We are going to move the daybed to our school/play room and the piano from that room to the front room after mom is able to take her hope chest we have in the front room now.  We just have to stain the loft bed first because it is a light wood and their dresser is a dark wood.  Dh already did part of it and it is looking very nice.  I will post some pictures after we finish up.

Things have been slow with the house showings.  We actually haven't had any this month.  We did do some updates and are going to do a slight price drop.  A few people picked up fliers during the sale so maybe we will get a showing soon.

If I don't get a chance to get back on, I will be gone for a long weekend trip with dh this coming week.  We fly out on Wed. and will be back late Sunday.  The girls will be with grandmothers.
