Some Really gorgeous flowers I picked from my garden yesterday...
...A Really cute Granddaughter on her last day of pre-school...
...And a really busy garage sale today...so busy, in fact, we needed a security guard...OK, OK, technically that's my Dad but we gave him grief over this all day...We also called him a Wal-Mart greeter but he wasn't too enamored of that title...
...grand total of sales today was a little over $400 AND the nicest people came by AND my neighbor had some stuff to sell and I found a little desk for our oldest granddaughter for twenty bucks AND I sold the fancy Starbucks coffee maker for $85.00 in the first hour of the sale! Woo hoo!I hope you enjoyed this Really Random R post of "Really's"!
This post is linked to Alphabe-Thursday's Letter "R"!
The flowers are REALLY gorgeous. The granddaughter is REALLY adorable! And that sounds like a REALLY fabulously successful garage sale!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are great, but the little pre-school graduate looking rarin' to go takes the cake. What a cutie-patootie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a haul you took in with your sale. It looks like you had it very well organized. Your kids should be really happy.
Really, really cute granddaughter and a really nice haul!
ReplyDeleteWell Jenny, you did great today!! Oh my, your granddaughter is just darling! Have to say too, your flowers are so beautiful! Wish I had your green thumb!
ReplyDeleteI had a chuckle about your dear dad!! Too funny!
Nancy
Those flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI had a fancy espresso machine just sitting there, collecting dust and I finally decided to part with it, so I checked to make sure it still worked. I could not get any steam to come out of the frothing wand. Bummer! Maybe I didn't clean it out well enough. :(
That thing had gotten a lot of use, when I was single, but then I found a great local place that made better espresso than I.
Thanks for your comment yesterday. None of the eye doctors have ever mentioned that to me about the flattening, so I don't think that is an issue. At least I hope not. :) That sounds pretty bad what you have been through. Did they have to do surgery?
The black spots are fading, so this is a good sign. I hope my eyes hold off doing anything else for awhile. My mom had quite a time with recovery having to keep her head faced down for so many hours in a day.
If your garage sale is going again tomorrow, I hope it is just as successful as today. :D
Congratulations on a successful garage sale! :0)
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a good lookin' garage sale! Congrats on the big haul!$!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats to the preschool graduate, too.
Glad you got the sale in this weekend--it's gettin' HOT!
ReplyDeleteAnd the flowers--ending soon, too. So sad.
Ooooooooooo, that looks like a delicious garage sale.. Wish I could have been there..
ReplyDeleteMaggey
Cute granddaughter too.
REALLY Jenny.... :P
ReplyDeleteLove it all!
Jenny I REALLY enjoyed this post especially that cute Granddaughter and your WalMart greeter, I mean Dad! So far so good in the yard sale...and yes good thing you went and sold that Starbucks thingy!
ReplyDeleteAdorable granddaughter and beautiful flowers. And you guys looked like you were having fun at that garage sale. How come I never make money at my garage sales after buying the ad and the permit?
ReplyDeleteLoved your Rs. Great photos of your awesome garage sale. Your granddaughter is adorable ~ so is your dad.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo on selling that coffee maker at just the right price. Take that Mr. Jenny.
Congrats on a successful sale! The picture of you with your Mum (i'm assuming) is too cute. I love your smile!
ReplyDeleteSmiles back,
You sold your Southern Living Two tiered plate holder?????????
ReplyDeleteOk, I am over that.
Your garden produces the most beautiful flowers.
And also...if you did not know this, your offspring has produced the most beautiful granddaughter!!!
immediately wondred about the Starbucks coffee maker. Now what did you buy to put in its place in that cupboard.
ReplyDeleteI want to hire that security guard for my next sale!
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is precious..I guess you already knew that.
R.R.Really precious.
Jenny,
ReplyDeleteI am so stupid!!!!! I for got about your sale....are you doing it again tomorrow????? Geesh!!!!! It looks like you had some good things.....:(
That looks really fun Jenny!!~ I love garage sales.....you know I started my own linky party on the weekends Garage salen Sunday....people love thrifting and we get such good stuff.....looks like I could have had a blast at yours
ReplyDeleteOne of the neighborhoods near me is having a big garage sale tomorrow & the sun is going to actually shine Can't wait. What a beautiful g'daughter. My twin g'girls graduate from kindergarten in a couple of weeks. Where does the time go???? Hope you make another $400 tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI hope you really, really rock it and reap the rewards of real re-purposing regarding the remnants of what remains to be released in your house purge. Had to get a "p" in there somewhere just to throw it a little. ;-)
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila
You got a lot of money at the garage sale. Was that Starbucks machine the one that Mr. Jenny said you should charge more for, if it was, looks like he was right LOL. Cute picture of your granddaughter. I love the flowers from your yard. I guess you can pretty much have flowers all year, huh? They are just beautiful. I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteThis is a blog post full of peace, beauty, relaxation, and success!
ReplyDeleteReally great post, gorgeous flowers, adorable granddaughter, and I think I see some things I "need" in those garage sale pics.! :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Catherine ... whose computer is working fine now, thanks so much!
Ravishing flowers from your Residential garden. And a Round of applause to your granddaughter on completing pre-school. Her Radiant smile and Rosy cheeks are so adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe sale sounds like Real fun, glad to hear your profits were Respectable.
Okay, I am now out of R's.
Oh it sounds like you had a successful garage sale and fun too:) Go Jenny! Love the picture of your precious granddaughter! Have a blessed day my friend! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing good - and you still have a great attitude - and you're still smiling! That's great. sandie
ReplyDeletereally rad raves forR youR gaRage revenue!!!
ReplyDeleteYour grand daughter looks so much like you Jenny! What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a very successful garage sale! I think your garage is as big as my house ..lol
Happy "R" day!
♥ Pat
Jenny, I think you have the cleanest garage I have ever seen in my life! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes your Granddaughter is very cute, and Jenny so are you! Your garage sell looks so lovely and organized. No wonder you made good money!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and the prettiest little flower is your granddaughter! Aren't grandkids the best thing ever?
ReplyDeleteGlad you did good on your garage sale, I live so far out no one would ever come to my house for one, or I'd try it myself.
Beautiful flowers. I really needed a smile tonight. Thank you. ;)
ReplyDeletepretty flowers. i hope they cheered you up a little.
ReplyDeleteeighty-five bucks for a coffee maker? CRAZY. good thing i don't drink coffee.
Way to go with the garage sale! I'd love to have one, but no one would ever drive our here to a sale. I'd like to talk a friend into having one in a regular neighbourhood, and then I could piggy back on it - so much junk and no garage sale opportunity!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm a bit late. I've been checking out your garage sale to see what I might take home. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad it was a success!
now that was really random! glad you had success with your garage sale! I'm having one in June ... i love having and going to them! and your flowers ... gorgeous ... i'm so envious!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, you're a better woman than me! As much as I love to go to garage sales, I hate to have them. Instead, I just load it up and have a kid take it down to the Goodwill! $400 sound pretty tempting, though....
ReplyDeleteI'll bet Mr. Jenny was pleased with how well you did. And did he buy you a latte' for doing such a good job?

Congrats on yr garage sale - always had great ones when I lived in LA!
ReplyDeleteGreat 'R' post - but, as always, just too many 'R's to choose from!Ahh!
Have a great weekend.
x LOLAL:)
Me again! Above should of course read 'Lola'!
ReplyDelete(As if there could be any more of us!)
Really great "R" post!
ReplyDeleteI'd have bought Mo for $85....in the first hour too!
Hi Jenny
ReplyDeleteFinally found those proverbial 5 minutes to continue visiting the "R's". Your garage sale made me sigh! The closest we have in France is a vide grenier which may well be the topic of my "V" post in a few weeks time.
Have a great weekend.
~Maggie~
Well I think Dad looks like a security guard... a "Now Retired" one, HAHAHA! I crack myself up!
ReplyDeleteAnd you sold my Coffee Maker? Well, at least now you have enough $$$ to take me to lunch.=)
I am really happy that your garage sale went really well! Perhaps you would like to come to Colorado and hold a really great one in my garage? Will you bring me some of those Really pretty flowers when you come? And drag along that grandaughter because I have another really cute preschooler whose last day of school is Friday and she would really have fun with your really adorable grandaughter!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a really great weekend because I know I plan to - we are in Beaver Creek and I really like it up here!
Your Granddaughter is just adorable!! Wow, good job on the coffee marker...last I read you put it back in the house...lol.
ReplyDeleteI love garage sale shopping! And I loved seeing my "great" aunt and uncle! teeheeee
ReplyDeleteWhat neighborhood do you live in?!?! I need to come visit your garage sale! $400 - awesome!!!

I know your first love is to work with words.
ReplyDeleteBut that first photo is a work of art! It could be painted, and fit in with the old masters.
Really Dear, I hope you find time to work more on your photography skills. That first picture takes my breath away.
Hooray for the successful yard sale!
>^_^<

I can't believe all those flowers are from your garden. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour garage sale was a success so far..
Aside from a few roses we have no flowers in bloom in our garden, yours appears to be amazingly bountiful and the pictures are wonderful. I wish I had such a lovely garden. Speaking of beauty, your granddaughter is also so. In England no one has garage sales and I have always thought them such a strange thing but am rethinking that view now I know how successful yours has been!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend
I am such a sucker for garden blooms, they wins hands down over store bought posies, in my opinion. And yours are beyond beautiful! Cute grand-daughter! And, congratulations on how wonderfully the sale is going. That's always good news!
ReplyDeleteso glad you had a successful sale :D
ReplyDeleteThat was a really interesting read :)
ReplyDeleteis that a red toaster??????do you know how cute that would look in our trailer...oh poop.
ReplyDeleteThat was really random! I am the dart in look fast, stop at one thing, look like I might buy then dash out quick lady who bought the random plate for $.50.
ReplyDeleteDid you see me? Oh, wait I live in Indiana - must have been another sale.
BTW When you have time, pls take a look at my post for today

Really enjoyed the flowers, really adorable grandaughter, and it looked like a really successful sale!
ReplyDeleteGood job teach!
Glad the garage sale went so well. You are a treasure hunter, gatherer and sharer. I can't believe all those beautiful flowers came from your yard; and of course it always gives me joy to see your way cute girlie. Congrats to her on her last day of preschool and more Grandma time :).
ReplyDeleteWow, you have an amazing green thumb - those flowers are spectacular. Grandaughter is too cute, she looks like she's having fun! And what a haul from your garage sale, that's great. Glad that you had security :) Kathy
ReplyDeleteIt looks like I would have been in heaven in your garage. Such fun things! Really, why are you getting rid of it all? Oh, so you can get even more fun things at other people's garage sales, right? :) That is what keeps our economy going. Garage sales. At least in the summer months.
ReplyDeleteWish I could have been there!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a great sale day.
Smiles~
Marilyn
Your granddaughter is a cutie and looks about the same age as my daughter!
ReplyDeleteWow - nice job with the garage sale! You're REALLY got a lot to be proud of. What are you going to do with all the money!? Pay the security guard?? :)
