Yesterday was our Garage Sale Fundraiser for Lottie Lee, and it was a great success. We didn't have high expectations, but since our neighborhood Teravista was holding the annual neighborhood-wide community garage/yard sale, we knew we wouldn't need to spend anytime advertising the sale. We figured we would hold a small sale and see what happens!
We received some wonderful donations from friends and co-workers, and after my nesting weekend, we also had many things we didn't even know we had to sell! Our friend & Lottie's God-Momma Kim spent the night and woke up bright and early to help set up.
It was a surprisingly cold morning in Austin and the first buyers arrived at 7:30 am, just as the sun came up! It was a little crazy, but we made out and Scott was able to get us coffee and hot chocolate! Kim and I kept the sale alive, and by 11:00 am all the goods were sold and we had $350.00 to add to our adoption fund! We didn't anticipate this being a HUGE fundraiser, but with a little cleaning, I was able to find "stuff" we no longer needed and made some extra funds for our adoption!
Another exciting moment came when our friend Brandi & Kevin called. They had stopped by Teravista to look around at the sales, and found a barely used pack-n-play and a bumbo seat! Then one of my other dear friends Linda, brought over some of my favorite toys she found while shopping around!
We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives! Thank you to all that donated, Brandi & Kevin, Kim, and Linda! Now the house is clean and organized...time to start to playroom!
