I wasn't expecting too much out of our yard sale last week, so I was pleased to get about $100 out of it. Elsa prepared for the sale about as much as I did. She selected a few toys to sell, made necklaces and bracelets, made swirly "chameleon" crayons (with a crayola crayon melter), and made and sold lemonade. Nora helped with advertisement and asked everyone who came to our driveway if they wanted any lemonade, and then directed them to the table, helping to get cups and napkins.
They made $45.90!!!
People would haggle me over quarters, and then walk over and give Elsa a $1 "tip"! She decided to put most of her earnings in the bank (to save up to buy a chameleon, of course).
Lesson learned - cuteness sells better than lightly used, good quality housewares.
Oh, how I LOVE your sense of humor. :) Way to go, Elsa! And I love that Nora helped direct shoppers.
