As a teen, I had a "thing" for Huey Lewis. I've seen him in concert a few times over the years. Anyway, his song, "workin' for a livin'" came into my mind this morning.
I haven't been keeping up with my blog posting. May just flew by. I was wondering, why didn't I post. Well, I did 3 show/events. As fun as this sounds, it's actually a lot of work! It's, digging, washing, waxing, fixing, tagging, packing, unloading, staging, selling.....to turn around the next day....boxing, lugging, packing....I think you get the picture. Did I mention, this all seems harder to do.....I'm not getting any younger.
My word of the year is RECLAIM. This is what I've been trying to do. I am doing 2 Tuesday night sales here at my farm. I'm calling them "under the tent" sales from 6-8 pm. However, it will be in the barn and weather permitting in a tent or 2. So, tonight is the first one. I was overwhelmed with the process - honestly, still am! I do have an immense collection/inventory. It will really take me more than just these 2 sales! Anyway, I was thinking of doing something like "It's the GREAT CleanOUT, Charlie Brown" - kinda thing...I will keep setting up and when I feel like it announce a sale. I don't want to be held down to an event calendar like I was last year. However, I do want to put that same effort I did for my clients last year into my own stuff. Pray for me....
Driving loads over to the barn....for sales. Ok friends, I'm off - "workin' for a livin'."

What a lot of treasure you have for sale. Whilst hard work you must love it when someone finds the perfect thing they have been looking for, what a joy.
ReplyDeleteI laughed at the Charlie Brown reference. We have a garage that is jam packed so I know the feeling. Good luck! Janice
ReplyDeleteHow did it go? I hope it went well. We are planning a really good sort through when I get back from Mum's in August.
ReplyDeleteWell, I missed the first one.... Odds of making the second??? Probably not so good either the way this summer is going. So much trying to be packed into 3 short, short, months I swear. Hope you “re-homed” lots of treasures (so you can buy more of course LOL!). I also am running behind on the blogging...both posting and reading. You know, it’s finally summery here for a few days...got some dirt digging to do! Hope your birthday was awesome! ~Robin~
