I spent the whole of Friday prepping for our big garage sale! I organized and labeled everything and got it all nicely laid out. Amazing what we've all collected in a year! I put up signs around the neighborhood and had a few banners made (and balloons bought to put up in the am).
We had our sale on Saturday and we actually did pretty good- we made
$300. Didn't get rid of everything, but I'd say about 85% of our stuff sold. It ran from 8-5 and we had people waiting outside the door before
eight. Aussie's apparently love a good garage sale. Steady traffic and lots of purchases till one, then hardly anyone. We were getting so bored waiting. Around 4:30 we took down our signs and we had three more stragglers who picked up most of the leftovers. Success!
Saturday night was my staff goodbye party. I met with the girls after work at my favorite bar, Opera Bar, which sits on the lower concourse of the Opera House and overlooks the harbour and the bridge. I was so glad most of the girls could make it out. It's an awesome staff and the girls all had such wonderful things to say about me and I feel like I am genuinely missed. We had a night of wine, laughter, and amazing views, then saw some fireworks go off behind the bridge once it was dark. The perfect send-off.
