WINE AND DIME

Last Friday night, one of my good friends hosted a "Wine and Dime".  

What on earth is a Wine and Dime? 

Well, it's basically a big fancy yard sale that takes place in my friend's house.  

Oh and a teensy bit of wine is consumed during the event. 

My friend has amazing style and she took great care in making sure 

everything was displayed beautifully. Everyone that wanted to participate, 

dropped off their items at her house earlier in the week.  

She set everything up and gave each person selling items an envelope.  

Most things were priced and tagged with names. 

If you bought something, you simply put the money in the correct envelope. 

Sounds simple, but my sweet friend was running around most of the night playing cashier. 

She was such a gracious host. 

Some people simply swapped items and some sold their items.

Three rooms were dedicated to home decor and one room was dedicated to clothing and shoes. 

There was also plenty of purses, jewelry and fabric to be found. 

This was the second "Wine and Dime" and it was a huge success.  

Anything leftover after the sale was donated to a charity.  

Kudos to my friend for hosting such a great event.  It was major work for her.

Once we were all finished buying, selling and swapping, 

we took the party outside on the patio and it gets a bit fuzzy from there.  

Just kidding (kind of), but I did manage to learn to hula hoop while drinking wine.

By the way, I came home with this cute jacket, scarf and shirt.  The shirt still had the tags on it.  

I traded one of my girlfriends a bookshelf for the jacket and shirt.  

I also managed to snag an amazing rug.  

I'll show you soon. 

I can't wait until next year's Wine and Dime!
