yard sale of the century | birmingham, al lifestyle photographer

There were 2 problems with my brilliant idea to have a yard sale.

1.  I didn’t have enough stuff to hold a respectable sale on my own.

2.  I didn’t have the best location.

Which brings me to my next brilliant idea.  Have a joint yard sale with my bff Jordan at HER house! She lives in a great location and she has lots of stuff! GENIUS!  I presented this idea to her about a year ago, but we just put it off until it was too late.

So, I brought it up to her again a few months ago and she wasn’t too excited about it, but when her mom jumped on board, it was a go!  And let me tell you.  Her mom?  Her mom has a LOT.  OF.   STUFF.  A LOT.

We set a date and got everything ready for the biggest yard sale of the century. (Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating just a bit, but it was really, really big and really, really fun.  And really, really successful.)  We had a large and steady stream of shoppers from about 6:00 am until around 4:00 pm.  I’d call that a huge success!
