WHAT? The sale is NEXT WEEK??

Oh my gosh! I need to get a move on! I haven't even deposited my check from the Gaithersburg sale yet and the Timonium sale is in just a few days!

Well I know what I'll be doing this weekend! Step 1 is to transfer all of my remaining items over from the Gaithersburg sale. Step 2 is to enter the things I had meant to enter for Gaithersburg but ran out of time to do. Step 3 is to do a good search of the play room and see what else we've outgrown or just don't use any more and get that entered into the system. I'll save actually tagging things for Monday and Tuesday night while I'm sitting in front of the TV multitasking :-)

My husband was delighted with how much I sold, and more importantly got out of the house, at the Gaithersburg sale. I've been joking with him that by the end of the Howard County (aka Columbia) sale, I hope to have sold enough that we'll only have a bin or two to go into the attic to await next springs' sales.

BTW, because I do pick up my stuff and transfer it over to the next sale, one of the things that I find REALLY helpful is to mark my tags so I can easily recognize them whether they be on a table or on a rack. I use little stickers and I cut the tags with craft scissors so it isn't just a straight cut edge to the tags. This way a quick glance is all it takes. I've seen folks use a marker to write a line through their tags, or a stamp to mark all their things, as well as an assortment of stickers. I tend to consign a lot of books and it makes it really easy to just flip through the books that are left and see mine quickly because I can't always remember the titles I brought and there are sometimes multiple copies of the same one.

So on to step 1...
