Saturday 6am, my friend Travis was kind enough to come over and pack his car with the items/ containers I could not fit in mine. My poor Suzuki was busting at the rims. We headed over to the Sumner church for the sale, it was a long drive. Took just as long to unpack and set up – the unwrapping and unwrapping and unwrapping. My friend Sally was there and helped me display my wears. She kept saying “it’s just like Christmas” and everything was “too cute”. She did end up getting something for her grandson.

While setting up, I found myself shaking a few times. Just nervous to let them go. But when a lady bought the first elephant, something for her yard – with the trunk up for good luck – I realized it might not be as hard as I thought.

The sale wasn’t as busy as I had hoped, but I did make a big step – letting go. Three boxes down ten more to go.

A few stuffed animals found homes with little kids – I knew they’d be loved there. A young lady (preteen) kept coming over to look at an elephant picture. I think her parents weren’t “going to spend money” on it. But she kept coming over to look at it. I decided to give it to her. I don’t think anyone would have appreciated it like she would. Most people who came either A) had an elephant story to tell or B) knew of some one that collects or C) knew of someone that had (since have past).

My sister and two nieces were kind enough to stick around and help me rewrap the tables of elephants. With them it sure went a lot faster. Thanks guys!
