We did this with AMAZING success, and last month my brother and sis-in-law did it for their adoption and did even better! We didn't have much stuff, but we talked to friends at church and work and got stuff donated. It was amazing how much people went out of their way to help! We did our sale Friday and Saturday. Be sure to put an add in the paper and use lots of big bright colored signs with arrows leading to your house.
