Yard Sale Success!

After several weeks of gathering, cleaning, sorting, and pricing, the fruits of our labor and that of the Lord paid off on Saturday.  After being open about 10 hours, we made a grand total of $3,200 on the yard sale. PRAISE GOD!!!!!! There were literally hundreds, possibly thousands of items on display that were donated to us.  It was so overwhelming to think of these items all coming from those who love us and love orphans.  There was a steady stream of traffic all day long from before we were ready to open and even after we were in the midst of tearing things down. Here are a few pictures from the day.



Here's the Yard Sale Queen Kristin, without whose help none this would have happened.



Here's the Yard Sale King Luke, Kristin's husband, who was a master at organizing all the traffic that flooded through.  He also made the most amazing clothes rack for our stuff seen below.



This clothing rack was not even fully set up yet and look at all those clothes!

Here's a snapshot of some of the furniture we had out. 


The sale was held on the property of Highlands Latin School which is on an extremely busy road in Louisville.  We were so grateful for this awesome location!


We are praising God for the body of Christ whose donations blessed us immeasurably more than we could have ever imagined!
