'Twas The Night Before The Garage Sale....



'Twas the night before the garage sale and all through the house
Mumma was freakin' like a drugged up mouse.....

All items were priced and laid out with care
for when the pre-dawn bargain hunters would be there.....

The children were all snuggled up in bed
the threats that they'd better wake up early filled their sweet heads.....

Hubby was wondering why he'd ever agreed to that
now he'd surely miss his Saturday arvo nap.....

I prepared for a day full of shoppers and chatter
making some sales is now all that matters.....

When morning comes I'll have to leap up in a flash
breakfast, shower and dress in a dash......

For there'll be last minute setting up you know
making sure all our pre-loved goodies are on show.....

Hopefully plentiful numbers of buyers will appear
and let's hope they don't think our prices are too dear.....

After weeks of planning, prepping and pricing the day will go quick 
and let's hope people buy most of our sh*t.....

When it's all over we'll need a nice cold rosé 
and we can sit down and reflect on our day.....

Hopefully the the profits will be worth all the work
Otherwise I'll fell like a right jerk.....

Well now I must go and turn out the light
and wish you all a wonderous garage sale eve night!!!




So tomorrow is the big day guys....holding my first ever garage sale!  
Wish me luck!!

  2. Love your little poem Veronica. Glad you had a great day. I've found they usually go exceptionally well...or are a big disaster! Awesome that no-one turned up before 7.30am
