My Sunday Plans

I've got big plans for today.  I think it's time to officially to sort out my clothes...AGAIN.  I seem to do this often.  I toss out more then I'm bringing in.  Right now I have a drawer crammed full with shirts.  Most of those shirts have been sitting there, unworn, for at least 6 months.  It's time to be honest with myself.  I'm not going to wear them.  I like them, I think they are cute/nice.  I'm just not going to actually get around to wearing them.

So, my plan is to sort them out.  And I'll actually toss them with my yard sale pile.  Not going to throw them in the trash, offer them on Freecycle, or cut them up into some new random project.  We only have a couple more months before the yard sale season hits.  And I want to make some money!  I still have things left over from last year, that I will put out yet again.  But now I have new stuff.

On top of my clothing that I'll be putting out, I have some of the kids' clothes and toys.  I have 3 large diaper boxes filled with summer clothes for the girls.  However, most will be too small come summer/spring/warm weather.  We'll keep a few things to get them by until I can buy "new" stuff.  But no point letting the girls put the clothes away if I'll just end up telling them to take it off.

I really need to figure out how to set things up.  I don't have tables to use.  And no garage.  So hanging clothes won't work.  Okay, well I do have one card table to use.  And I'll probably pull out my long coffee table.  Oh oh!  And I have a decent sized piece of board/wood I can use to make into a table.  I'll get it all worked out somehow.  I'm just not doing a tarp on the ground with mounds of clothing.  I'd never sell anything that way!

I also think I'll just do a set price for things.  Such as "women's tops $1, girls tops $1..." etc.  Instead of doing individual prices for everything.  Granted, I'll still have some things with an actual price tag.  But not the clothes (unless I think it warrants a special price).

But for now, sort out my clothing!

P.S. It's going to be warm today.  Only 9:30am and it's already 51* outside.
