"Do you want to buy a stuffed animal, some jewelry, or littlest pet shop?"

 Lydia has been wanting to have a garage sale all summer. She likes to collect some toys she thinks someone else might enjoy and put them out on display on the driveway. 
 Abigail would love to be her first buying customer, but Lydia didn't accept plastic coins. Lydia was out there, waving enticing stuff at anyone who passed by. Finally she got the attention of a neighbor. She sold her a green necklace for $1.
Lydia's first sale!
She was so excited and wanted to make another sale, but traffic was slow. So not wanting to squash her little entrepreneurial spirit, I let her take the sale on the road with a walk around the neighborhood. She inevitably experienced rejection that she handled well.
What to do when you don't have a cash box.
The funniest part of the whole thing was where she decided to put the dollar she made. Good thing it was a rare not windy day. ;)

Maybe if she had homemade cookies or muffins her sales would improve!! Certainly never a dull moment at your house.

This was spur of the moment. I think an official sale is in order for the spring with yes, homemade cookies. :)
