Have you ever looked around your house and asked yourself, where in the world did all of this come from?!?! I experienced that feeling many times this past weekend. Our family is in the beginning stages of remodeling our kitchen. As part of this remodel, we are removing a couple closets and blowing out a few walls to make it, as HGTV would say, more 'open-concept'. I cannot tell you enough how excited I am about this. But, in order to bring this vision to reality, the hallway closets have to go, leaving me with a bunch of 'stuff' that does not have a home. So what do you do?? Well, there are a few options. I could pile all of this stuff in a trash bag and donate it to a good cause. I could try to have a yard sale at the house to recoup some of the expenses associated with our new kitchen, but that would require way more coordination than I have time for. Or, I could do a combination of both, but do it in a way that was convenient for my busy life.....BINGO. See, the thing I love about technology and the social media age that we live in is the ability to reach mass amounts of people in a timely manner. As I was pondering what to do with all of this 'stuff', it dawned on me that I always see people host virtual parties to promote the items they are selling, so why could I not do the same thing with our household items that we no longer need? If you know me, you know that I ALWAYS shop the local online yard sales to find the best deals, so what would keep me from hosting my own online yard sale? Many more questions came to mind. Would people join? Would they be interested in what I am selling? Would this be a one-time thing or something that I continually update throughout the year? Well, there is only one way to find out. Read on for more :o) Since I work full time, evenings and weekends are the only time I get to spend with Rhett. That time is precious and I do not want to ever take it for granted. So, being the planner that I am, I planned out my Saturday and Sunday schedule and based my online yard sale work around Rhett's nap time. As soon as his head hit the pillow, I started clearing through every single closet in our home. I pulled out every piece of clothing that Ryan and I had. I scoured through ever pair of shoes that we owned (some still new with tags on them). I pulled out every household item we never use and went through all of Rhett's cabinets and chests, only to find many items still unopened. I then made three piles which consisted of :
Now, to tackle the items to sell. Many of the clothes, shoes, accessories, home decor, etc. that we have are all name brand. I went through a stage where premium jeans were my favorite. They were better quality, comfortable and trendy. I did not mind saving up to pay for high-end jeans because I knew they would last for a long time. These jeans, along with a lot of other items that we own, still have a lot of life left in them and can venture on to the next home for someone else to enjoy at a discounted rate. So, to showcase these items, we have created a Facebook Online Yard Sale page. On this page, we have highlighted everything we are selling from women's and men's apparal, namebrand women's coats, women's shoes, household items and even items for infants/children. Here is a sneak peak of just a few of the items that can be found on our online yard sale: If you are interested in viewing more of the items we have listed for sale, follow these steps:
Thanks in advance for checking out our yard sale and for helping us clear out our clutter. If you are feeling like you need to do the same, I encourage you to find pockets of time to dedicate toward this effort. You will be SO glad that you did!!
