Summer ends with a BANG

Bang can definitely be interpreted in a couple different ways: either we sold a lot of stuff and it ended well or I was banging my head against the wall dealing with buyers. Both are true! We did sell several items to end the summer and all the jackets we loaded up on are now selling. Still, I feel like throwing something dealing with buyers. It's interesting how we can go months without any issue from a buyer then suddenly four problems in two weeks. I admit, we were not innocent in one of the issues. There was a TINY hole in a sweater we sold and we never noticed it. I'm not totally sure if it was there (can possibly see it in the pictures?), but I could see missing that tiny hole. So, we take the blame for that one. We don't deserve to be keyboard told off because someone didn't read an item description or we placed tape on a box to keep it from being damaged though. We are VERY honest about the condition of the items we sell; to avoid these issues but sometimes they are inescapable. 

Vent over! We only shopped at thrift stores three times all summer and now will be shopping again 😃. We are VERY excited to shop again and feel good about our summer sales, considering we only three times. 

On our trip to New Orleans quest, we have now saved $905. We have 3 more weeks to save about $500. Here are some of the sales that helped us on our quest:
