Shopping spree (hopefully)

Right now, preparations are focused on getting ready for my Shop My House party.  Below is the email I sent out to my local friends.  As you can see, we are selling many, many things, even beyond the list of furniture below.  Since it's freezing here (literally, there is snow forecast for today), I couldn't have a traditional garage sale so I'm hoping this works instead.  If no one comes, I'm going to be making a lot of trips to Goodwill! 

-------------------------------------

Come on down and make a deal on Wednesday, December 4th, beginning at 7pm!  Almost everything you will see will be for sale, including furniture (see partial list below), decorative items, boys' clothes (size 4T), women's clothes (sizes 10, 12, M, and L), toys, dishes, pots/pans (including Pyrex and Corningware), craft supplies, and on and on. 

Larger items will be sold via silent auction, and everything else will be priced to sell yard sale style.  Most items will be available for immediate pickup (with the exception of the beds, since we have to sleep somewhere until we leave!). 

Bring your friends, bring your tape measure, bring your wallet, bring your sense of humor: you don't want to miss the fun!  (Bidding in the silent auction will end promptly at 8:15pm, so don't be late!)
