It's a Lovely Day for a Yard Sale

Actually...it was a hot, steamy, balmy day filled with frizzy hair and sweaty clothes but that didn't seem to stop the buyers!  Every year, the Quartuccio's get together to clear out the junk sellable items and make some cash.  Since it was James' first yard sale-ing experience, we thought we would share it with you lovely people.

The morning started with 2 ladies bickering over some costume jewelry (Mom had to kick them out) and a theft (someone swiped a $2 bill from the garage), but luckily things went uphill from there.  We didn't have any huge items for sale, but there was some good stuff - kitchen gear, lots of clothes, Dad's unique items and knick knacks galore.  I think the best items we had were bunches of fresh rosemary from Mom's and Dad's huge rosemary bush.

There was a steady stream of people in the early hours and then it died down - big time, but luckily we saw a surge in the later hours.  James was a big hit - as was Lucy. We had many offers on both of them. :)

All in all, we did really well.  We made a little over $400 which now happily sits in James' savings account.  James counted the cash which you would think would be difficult for a 6 month old, but with his old man hat and his Journal of Accounting, he made it look easy. :)
