Gloucester

We’ve lived in the same home in Gloucester for almost 17 years, and there’s lot of stuff we have that we don’t really need – moving to Florida and paying per pound for what gets moved is a great incentive to dispose of everything we don’t really need! So it’s yard sale time!

Quite a few large furniture pieces that we don’t need to take to Florida, and all sort of other items (kitchen equipment, unwanted CDs / DVDs, games and jigsaws we’ve never used, basement shelving too heavy to take to Florida; even the old “lawn mower shed” (though we are taking the mower!):

In total about three hours of set up last night and this morning, a four hour yard sale, and most stuff is gone. Lots of the furniture went next door one side or the other, and most of the rest headed off in cars … we are left with an assortment of items that will go to Second Glance (our local thrift store that fundraises for The Open Door), a small collection of “free, take it” stuff on the front lawn, and some unwanted shelving that already a local metal dealer has taken most of. And some kept back stuff that people will hopefully be returning to buy …

For those that want to know, the day raised somewhere between $320 and $400, depending if the promised last buyers return! Quite successful, though the main purpose was getting rid of things …
