los cerritos wetlands rummage sale

first glance

set up

liz came up with the idea to "barter" pictures for merchandise, she did very well!

full swing

ok, my dad donated some cool watches and cleaver was assigned to sell them (she has some pictures liz made, remember she bartered for things?) and between my dad and cleaver, that table made 210 dollars!!!! unbelievable!!

liz shopped non stop

some crafty stuff

this baby never fussed once (sweetness, hank!) love jen!

life savers (or wetlands savers!!)

guerilla art kits (cant believe keri smith gave me a personal ok to make these, so cool!)

working the streets


chris became the entertainment

boy the grunion gazette missed a photo op! (the photographer had already left)

liz found (and bought back) many of her "donated" toys (ooops, note to self, dont bring your kid to a rummage sale if you have pilfered things from their room. they will seek them out!)


goodwill here we come! the kids had a blast and i was so happy to see new friends and old friends come out to help. thanks to celeste and fred from high school! christine, linda, pete, janet, mary, kathleen (the girls too!) from camp fire, the walkers (for the awning that saved our bake sale in the rain), beth and mark found on facebook!! jen and brent my favorite blog pals, alicia from the gaslamp, all the wetlands folks (elizabeth, ann, pat, many many volunteers who came to help sell).... the list goes on and on... oh and CHRIS who just rocks beyond belief (but he knows it!) so many people saved the day. i tell you my folks were so amazing, cleaver and my dad!! oh man, cleaver, you were the one and only person who came and sold your goods for us, thanks so much!! love you!

ok, enough enough, time for bed!!! happy day for the wetlands, tomorrow we rest!
