Happy Monday to everyone. It has been one heck of a busy weekend, and if you are living in the vicinity of the New York, Metropolitan shore line, than you are enjoying some stunning weather. The sky is a lovely shade of blue and it just makes you want to be outside today.
Let me start with a little lilac love. The blue of the sky, the green of the trees and the lilacs....such beauty could only be heaven sent.
These pink lilacs smell Divine.
Just stunning!
Moving on to the yard sale round up, I have to first say it was a huge success. We had everything out and ready to go by 7:30, and people straggled in slowly for a few minutes, and then from 8:00 on, it was bedlam. A big thank you to Red Bank Green for the post on Friday. Many people showed up at the sale because they read about it first. Jenny wanted to know how I felt about the sale. It did make me miss the store a little bit, and I really enjoyed chatting with all of the people who came by. All of the fabric sold quickly, but my favorite was the woman who bought the bolt of leopard faux fur. I had to ask what she planned to do with it...she has a doggie boutique and is planning to make little coats out of it. I just loved that! People walked away with handfulls of books and tablecloths, all of the furniture sold, and we were very pleased with the results. A big thank you also goes out to our helpers, Jenna, Ian and Brian. We couldn't have done it without them. The biggest surprise came Friday night when daughter in the middle showed up completely unexpected. She grabbed a ride home from school with a friend (everyone knew, but me) because she wanted to surprise me....it was pure happiness.
Now for the Blue Monday post...Last week, I posted a give away
for this lovely blue kitchen witch
....drum roll please....
Isn't this a pretty tablecloth (lol)...I know, you are dying with anticipation and I should get on with it...
and the winner is Ruby! Please send your address in an email. When you have a moment stop by Smiling Sallies blog and visit all of the other Blue Monday posts...they always make me smile :) and you will too.
♥, Susan

What a wonderful weekend for a yard sale...and for a surprise visit from your daughter.
Posted by: becky k. | April 27, 2009 at 08:34 AM
I can NOT believe I missed it!
I completely forgot until I opened up my computer this morning. :-(
It was "Rutgers Day" in our area, they lumped all the festivals together, so AG Day for us, became Rutgers Day...DH has to "work" that, so..darn!
I am glad you had a successful day, even if it meant I didn't get a shot at bringing any of your goodies home with me.
Love your blue items!!

Happy Blue Monday.

Oh the flowers are so lovely!! I really have a desire for a lilac bush/tree in my yard...

Hi Susan :)
Those Lilacs are beautiful! I plan on putting some in the yard at some point so I can smell them when I walk outside :)
I can't believe I missed your giveaway, but I'm so far behind... ugh. Congratulations to the lucky winner!
hugs,
rue

Oh No! I am in NJ and didn't know about the yard sale. No fair!!!
My lilacs aren't yet in bloom, just beginning to bud.
You must be further south in Jersey!
Congrats to your giveaway winner!

No pics of the yard sale?? I would have loved to seen all the tablecloths..very pretty blues!
Posted by: Kathleen | April 27, 2009 at 05:07 PM
I scrolled down and saw your yard sale goodies. I am forbidden to go to them, and encouraged to have one!
I would have bought that blue toile tea cozy in a heartbeat!
Posted by: Kathleen | April 27, 2009 at 05:12 PM
First the lilacs are lovely and I love the heavenly smell. Pink is so sweet.
Congrats to Ruby on the win. the kitchen witch is cute. I love the tablecloth you shared today too.
Hugs...Jeanne

Hi Susan!
Your photos are beautiful! I can still smell the scent of the flowers in your driveway!
I am glad the sale was pleasant for you, and I guess one of the perks of being out there with the public is hearing what someone else will do with something that you no longer want- like the woman with the leopard fabric! How funny! (and clever, to say the least!)
Have a great day!

I'm glad your sale was a success. I keep looking in my garage and thinking about a sale. Then I shut the door and forget about it. LOL

Beautiful lilacs. We too have been lucky with the weather here in the Midwest (it's our turn, right?). Happy to hear your yard sale went well!
Happy Blue Monday! :-D

Glad the sale went well, Sue! I visited a antique/rummage type store in Denver called "Yankee Trader" and found lots of my basement collectibles for high prices in it..lol! I hope to blog about it soon.
