Garage Sales & Girl Time!

This weekend we brought a TON of stuff over to Mimi and Papaw's house to partake in their community garage sale.  It is way easier when an entire community is hosting because #traffic!

Kate was in charge of selling cookies and bottles of water and she made out!  She made out so much that she decided she wanted to give each of her 22 classmates $1 for ice cream over the summer in the summer bags she passed out and she still had nearly $20 left after that! 

It was a success to get rid of some stuff and not feel too cramped in our basement but somehow I still feel like we've got a ways to go in terms of tidying/organizing.  #oneday

Set up and prep for lots of sale!

Looks inviting to me!

The masterminds behind this venture!

Her note for her classmates.

She is so thoughtful!

In addition to the garage sale, Sarah and I went out for a little girl's afternoon.  We had lunch at Sweet Carrot and decided to get a little crafty and paint our own pottery.  I selected two little bird dishes because I couldn't paint just one and she selected a kitty piggy bank for her daughter, Rebekah.  She is moving to New York with her family in June and we are sure going to miss the company.


My bird dishes.

Sarah and the kitty bank!

I was hesitant to do more than color...clearly.

Girl time.  Yaass!

Final product.  Kate asked why the birds didn't have eyes and why
hers didn't have a heart...Well, my darling, because I'm a perfectionist
and I didn't want to not like these when I was done.  Sad, but true.
And not at all what I told her.
