Today was my sisters yard sale. It was a sweltering 96 degrees outside today! We had tough competition, 2 other large yard sales in the area. We did pretty well, though. Holly was kind enough to let me set up a small table of sweet treats, or as I kept telling shoppers, "yard sale fuel". Because of the heat I ended up having to keep most of them in the fridge.
I spent the last few days making cupcakes, cookies, brownies, candies and rice crispy treats. Ethen, my three year old, has been in heaven. He has been Head Treat Tester. Making sure there was enough icing, the right amount of M&M's and testing the consistency of the chocolate.
People are amazing! I made $138 from my baked goodies! It was so cool. I did make a good part of that amount even before leaving the house. I have such a great supportive husband and my kids will do just about anything for sweet treats!
Next week is my yard sale! I am excited. All the items that didn't sell today, ended up being donated to my sale. Plus I have gotten promises of donations from several neighbors. I am expecting the calls this week since the sale is on Saturday. I have to make nice big signs to draw people in. I don't think I will make any sweets to sell next weekend. I don't think my waist band can take it!
