Tales from the sale.

So....we had the garage sale this weekend.

And you know? It really wasn't that bad. Despite the bright and early 6AM rise time on a weekend morning, it was actually a successful venture...

Perhaps bright and early was the wrong choice. It was early, alright...not so bright.

We expected early birds, so we tried to move quickly...but we still weren't ready when the first customers arrived at 7:15.

I didn't take any pics while we actually had customers, by the way. But I promise we had them. By 11, we were cleared out of the little stuff, but the furniture hadn't moved.

And by the time the end of the sale rolled around, we'd had a pretty successful day! Successful enough, that is, for one of my chairs to be reupholstered, so hopefully Santa will come through with the other one. :)

On Sunday, I finally had the chance to tackle my new project...

Again, Mikell, if you are reading this, please stop.

I started the first of my homemade Christmas presents for the year...a set of six placemats and matching napkins. Is the fabric not SO beautiful? It's from my new favorite place: CityCraft. If you live in Dallas (heck, if you live near Dallas), you should head over there, stat. It's AMAZING.

All in all, a pretty good weekend! Now the rain is back...kinda appropriate for a Monday.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend, too!
