Yard Sale
Lori hosted a special yard sale this weekend especially geared toward teachers. She is downsizing her teaching materials because she is now on the road with Broadway shows teaching the younguns who perform in shows like Annie. So in the style of my blog idols, Remedy and Reverb, here are a few photos from the day.
Heather, Corinne (Lori's mom), Steve (Remedy) and Lori. Steve stopped by on his way back from dropping off equipment for Refuge, the coffee house that will be opening soon on Glenway.
Heather helped keep the tables stocked and Corinne provided conversation and support.
The Live Cup Holder idea didn't attract many buyers...But it was an interesting concept. Lori would make lovely decor for any home!
This is Jennifer. She rocks. We love her!
This was Steve's puzzling find at the sale. Hmmm.
This little guy tried to hide but we caught him spying on us. I think he also threw some leaves down onto us and hoped we'd think it was just an act of autumn.
Bear with baby...with removable head for hours of entertainment. The lady who bought the poor broken bear shared with us how she fixes stuff like this by stuffing cotton into the broken areas and then gluing it. Somehow it makes it look brand new. I can't fully envision how it works but I trust her. :)
My best sale:
Mine were not this nice looking. They were old and beat up and discolored. A guy drove up and did some curb shopping. He asks "How much do you want for the skates?"...I didn't have a price but thought maybe a dollar or two. But instead I felt like asking "How much do you want to give me for them?" He shrugged and said "$10?"...$10??! Absolutely! I have no idea why these old skates were worth that to him, but he must have some secret to skate restoration. I'm glad they are in good hands because I didn't especially want to part with them - they were just too heavy for my little feet.
It was a fun day...Yard sales create a great atmosphere for fellowship.
