SPONTANEOUS GARAGE SALE

My daughter went to bed last night with the idea of making signs for a garage sale. I had been cleaning out some things from the basement, and shed, and she really wanted to paint!. I outlined the words on the second sign, above, but she, given the primary paint colours in our paintbox - yellow, red and blue - proceeded this morning to make this beautiful sign, taking the trouble to mix colours and adding stamps and polka dots before declaring it done! 

We walked down the street when we had our signs and stickers ready, about ten am. It took two failed attempts with different staples, and a hammer and nails to get the sign up, but we did sell $30 worth of stuff, all Rebecca's. I was happily surprised that she was willing to sell her Little Tike car, Kitchenette and Dora house with furniture. She graciously gave Amber part of the proceeds, as it was her Dora house originally.  It was a great day outside and with my daughter.

This sign is all Rebecca! Cats, butterflies, and complex colours! It was beautiful!
