I spent 15 minutes continuing to rue the fact that I decided to make a web site in Wordpress, rather than Blogger. It looks prettier, but I could have been done with this two weeks ago. Wordpress is not intuitive. It's not even understandable when I'm looking at the help screen instructions. Today I manged to get a picture uploaded (yay!) and then spent the rest of the time trying to turn off comments and make a category. It's getting close to done, though.

Two days of 20MPDC in a row! Today I finished the blog and finished the quarter sheet flyers to pass out. Next I will make a "tear off" poster to hang up in a few places.

I printed out my Harvest Helper flyers and sliced them up. They are ready for distribution.
Monday 5/23
Starting tomorrow I will pass out my Harvest Helper fliers on my morning walk. I've now moved on to garage sale 20MPDC. I've picked my tentative date (July 9) and today I labeled items for sale. I also straightened my storage shed to better hold items for sale after I label them. I'm pricing everything very cheap (mostly $1.00 or under, a lot of the stuff I priced today was 25 to 50 cents) so that it will be bought and taken away from me. I've been to garage sales lately and everyone seems to have an overinflated sense of their items worth. For instance, at a sale I went to recently they had a nice vintage metal cooler. Very retro cool. But priced at $75.00? At a garage sale? I think not. Maybe in a vintage store placed in a very yuppie part of town. But not at a garage sale.
So from now until July 9 I will be decluttering and pricing things for a garage sale at the same time.

15 minutes of pricing everything that has been sitting by the front door, waiting to go to the Goodwill. I had a realization in the middle of the night. I've been looking for a metal shelf on which I can set the seed starts. I want to pay less than $10.00 for one. It turns out, I have a metal shelf already. It sits by the front door and collects things that rarely, if ever, get taken to Goodwill. That's not a good focal point for the living room/front area. So I will price everything on it for the sale, store the items in the storage closet for the sale and move the shelf outside to hold the seed starts. Brilliant!
Nice progress! I like the idea of an old fashioned garage sale. Perfect! A nice alternative to the modern Craigslist. Well done on your week of work, too!!! Lots of posts up! Yay, yay, yay, you! And with that I am caught up on commenting. I think that was about 12...
ReplyDeleteI love it when I suddenly see new purpose in old items.
