We had our Yard Sale on Saturday and what an amazing day it turned out to be. Chris and I were so moved by the many family and friends who came to help us with the event. People helped us make posters, load the truck, unload the truck (at 6:30 am!!), sell items, donate items and then of course, many people came to our sale and bought items. THANK YOU to the many friends and family and strangers who supported our family!
Are you ready..... the grand total from our Yard Sale was $1173.60! WOW! We were blown away. The most expensive item we sold was only $35!
God truly blessed us!.... but wait! There's more! At about 1:15 we called the Radio stations to announce that anyone who wanted to come to the sale could take whatever they wanted for free. We had a few people show up and they all took stuff which was great. There were still a lot of items left and we really didn't want to drag it all home again! Well, a van pulled up and out jumped 4 men. They were from Thailand and had just arrived in PEI only TWO DAYS BEFORE. They had come in a group of 18 - husbands, wives and their children. They had been living in refugee camps for a very long time so they came to PEI with very little. They were able to fill the back of the van with tons of adult clothing, kids clothes, jackets, boots, shoes, mitts, hats, toys and lots of other items. That was really the highlight of the whole day!! It was amazing to be able to help them and to see their happy faces!!! God is so amazing!
The "Lemonaid for Hope" Stand
Lots of items for sale!
People browsing for deals! And there were lots of deals. At 10:30 we marked everything 1/2 price. Our most expensive item sold for $35 - it was a captain's bed (single) with the mattress. Now that was a steal of a deal!!!
The kids having fun! This box was full of stuffed animals for sale but Alyssa and her friends had more fun playing in it than selling them!
