Yard Sale Today and a Give Away

I held a yard sale today to try to reduce the clutter and prove to myself I am not a hoarder!  I sold a lot of stuff--you never know what people will buy!  After the sale, we packed up 3 large boxes of unsold items to drove them over to the local Impact Thrift Store.



 I was also left with 2 unsold 2011 APQ calendars to give away, not to the thrift store, but to you.  If you are a follower, leave a comment or become a follower of my blog and leave a comment.  Deadline to comment is May 10 at noon (eastern time).  Good luck!

    Looks like a yardsale I would have breaked for! I have to admit the hoarder show and Clean House can make me a bit uncomfortable...not that I am there yet (ok, if clean house wants to come by I wouldn't throw them out....) A calendar however - that's not clutter!

    It sounds like you had a successful sale. How lucky for us that no one wanted those two calendars :) Thanks for the chance to win one.

    I have been a follower without a blog of my own since the APQ days. You certainly do beautiful work. Was sorry to hear that your showing at the coffee house wasn't very productive. Please put my name in the hat for the calendar giveaway.

    Looks like it was a beautiful sunny day for your sale. Glad you sold some things. Looking through the pictures, I wish I would have lived in your town since I see some beautiful stuff that I would have liked to buy.
    I love it that sum peoples "junk" is anothr persons "treasure". Maybe I can win one of your calendars to make up for not living in the same town. Thanks for the chance.

    I just became a follower, but don't have a web site. I'd love to win one of the calendars. I also have an apron collection, but don't know what to do with it--any suggestions for display or whatever?

    I have become a follower! I have a weakness for quilt calendars, almost as bad as I have a weakness for cookbooks. Calendars don't take up as much room! LOL!
