YES! The fund raising garage sale was a success.


"This is the best garage sale ever. Most colorful, fun and lottsa great items" 
We kept hearing that and things like it. 

We did pretty good. Olive and Annie were charming and it didn't hurt that we were one of the only games in town. Garage sales usually don't happen this time of year. We were surprised so many people enthusiastically turn out. 


There were two people waiting for us at dark thirty in the morning, lots of traffic all day and after we got home people were at our door asking where the next one is because they missed this one. People donated amazing things that made a lot of people happy. We didn't over charge for anything and that also made them happy. 

Olive's Mom brought a tea carafe and everyone who came to the sale got free tea. That was a lot of fun with the community on a blistery chilly day. It was cold but we never got wet. Thank you Friends for donating items, we thought about you as your artifacts started new adventures. 

Tomorrow is moving day and we have some cash to feed people and such. We are also a bit closer to paying the first and last rent because of this epic sale. 
Annie was very generous for lending us her house and extra generous for volunteering so much time and not asking for any money. It was such a good experience we decided to gather some more goods and do it again next Sat. Thanks again everyone. ~Dingo
