Kid tested and approved by Kdarg- may have to swing by and get her a new hoop tomorrow. She likes yours so much better than our boring hoops!

If you like yard sales you will love this one. There are over 50 tables overflowing with new and used goods. And furniture and more stuff stacked all over an acre of land.

Come and get a loaded biscuit from Summer Kitchen and coffee from the coffee house and stroll Eden State Park at its Spring finest. The Friends of Eden will be selling plants, the Historic Point Washington Association, and the Point Washington United Methodist Church will also be selling stuff to raise funds.

Be sure to check out the Farmer's Market in Seaside tomorrow morning also.

Cool hoops Chandra!

Wow - after seeing all the stuff above, the small little half-box we just dropped off for HPWA to sell looks woefully inadequate! But it's good stuff.

Wow! what a day!!! we saw so many friends today!!! and some really good sowaller gals, suffering from a little too much dikki du partaying the night before, joined us this morning for breakfast and music and shopping. I know mangy made a haul! and as much stuff as I unloaded out of my closets when cleaning out, and donating to the sale, I hauled in some new treasures too!

thanks to everyone for coming out and making today such a great success for SWMA and for our table vendors. It was a lot of funn seeing everyone!!!

the hula hoops were a hit! and DJ Lady Muse - awesome music all day long! we were kept well fed and watered too, with the best breakfast biscuits, baked goods, etc. no one starved! nothing like living on brownies all day long!

there are so many people to thank for helping with this school fundraising event.. it was a great day all around with our school and its neighborhood community celebrating a beautiful day together.

Thank You!

Thanks everyone! A lot of hard work went in to the sale and a lot of fun was had under the centuries-old oaks and magnolias. A lot of people got great stuff they really needed like clothes, furniture, and housewares.

The school is grateful for community support. It is a private school and is not for profit. With the welcome but expensive move from Rosemary Beach last year to the new campus there is a lot yet to be done like playground equipment, building improvements and maintenance, landscaping, etc. but the most pressing need in this economy is tuition assistance for kids and their families.

So glad it went well, and kudos to your school families for being so involved. I bet y'all are beat!

YOU KNOW IT!

We're still crunching the numbers, and we've got a few IOU's from parents and staff since there was so much great stuff left at the end of the sale, but we think in the end our total will come close to the $5000 mark!

Thank You Thank You Thank You

to everyone who helped, sold, and bought stuff at the yard sale. I dare say we'll have another one this coming fall... every fall and every spring sounds great to me. Lord knows, we all still have too much stuff.

Tootsie, I certainly brought home as much as I sold or donated! Every time I made a sale, I turned around and spent it. Sold a ton of great stuff, but spent every dollar I made! All for a great cause. I SWMA!
