The Flea Market Adoption Fundraiser helped us raise a little over $4000! The stories that we have to tell are ALL God stories! I wanted to share a few:
- A family donated a beautiful armoire and we sold it during the pre-sale (Nov 3rd) for an incredible price. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that someone would donate something so expensive to our cause. Then, God provided just the person He had in mind to purchase it (and on the very first day of our sale)!
- A church family member wanted a wooden file cabinet. This was the only thing he was looking for. My husband had started collecting things for our house before we even decided to have a flea market. And yes, one of those things he brought home was a wooden file cabinet. That file cabinet was stuck in our closet for the longest time because Tom was trying to figure out how to make it become part of a new desk system. When Mr Ed said, "Do you have a wooden file cabinet in the gym for sale?" my mouth dropped open.
- A sweet little boy, Shane or Jake's age, spent all his money on a toy robot (remote controlled). When I told him that he just helped bring Jake home, you should have seen the smile on his face! I wish I had gotten his picture!
- A couple from Indiana attended the SALE (Nov 5th). They were here for work and vacation. The couple wanted to ride bikes on the beach, but they didn't want to buy our beach cruisers that we had for sale, so I did a bike rental during the flea market!! Then later on that day, after the beach cruisers were returned we sold both of them to some folks who live on the island!
- When we were wrapping up the POST SALE (Nov 12th), a classmate of mine from Calhoun Academy found the sale just by chance! We haven't seen each other in MANY years. It was so nice to see her & meet her husband. She even brought her friends along!
- CUPCAKES!! We sold cupcakes for 50 cents each. One lady decided she would buy an entire tray of cupcakes. I was totally blown away. Always bake those cupcakes!!
Here are just some of the neat items that are left! MAKE AN OFFER & I'll meet you or send a picture of the item if you are interested in something:
