Updates!

Hi Everyone.  Hope you all had a great weekend.

Let me tell you a little of my weekend.  Like I had said before.  I was waiting for this flea market sale hosted by the church.  I had my stuff pretty much ready.  All I had to do was, pack my car and head to church early to set up.

Unfortunately the person in charge of the event, did not plan this well.  We had to post the signs up.  And I'm not sure why, but not very much buyers came by.  I even texted friends and family to come by.

The good thing was that there was another event going on on the premises.  So a few of those people came over to see.

In all we made $27.  Daughter sold a few of her dolls and barbie cars.  We still had most of the stuff left but we are hoping that next weekend we will have better luck.  Someone told us the best time to put a garage sale is the first weekend of the month. 

This will be my last try before I just take everything to the nearest thrift shop.   Most of our items were priced for a dollar.  Except for daughter's dolls that are still intact in their boxes, these are priced at $5.  And the porcelain dolls too.  We sold two of the porcelain dolls on Saturday.

At the house, my son and I, worked together to clean his room.  He bought a new Lego set with his birthday money.  I was glad we waited because he got a discount of $10 on it.  So before he took all the pieces out we cleaned his room and added the coffe table to his room.  Now he has a place to put together his Legos, and a place to store them.  I plan to use the shoe cubbies with small clear boxes for smaller sets.


For now they will be stored in these bead sorters. 
 I got this at Michaels.
 I categorized the pieces by color.



He also purchased a tank for his fish. 
 We will add decor later.


And we found this Yoda figurine at a much bigger flea market.
The price, only $3.



Let me know what you think of my son's room.  Have a beautiful day.

No pictures yet!

I have not been able to post the pictures of daughter's room.  I have been busy with other unexpected duties.  But I will try to post by next Tuesday.

Please say a prayer for all the people in the world going through natural disasters.  In just a few days, we had a few earth trembles in our area.  And as you all know in the East Coast too.

Here in California we are used to this kind of earthquakes, but its very rare in the EAST.

As well as its rare that the West Coast get any hurricanes  or twisters. 

But we should trust God and know that he is in control, and he will protect us.

Have a blessed weekend.
