A Parade in the Summer is the BEST!

14
May 2013

 

When summer comes around, I think of a few things that I’ve had to abandon for the winter months…BBQs, fishing, picnics, and parades!

The weather is warming up out there in a hurry and this Saturday, May 18th 2013 is our annual Parade America here in Nampa, Idaho!

Okay, so parades are a lot of fun for everyone…the candy, the floats, the cheering…it all makes for a really fun day with family.

So what if you add a BBQ on top of it? Wouldn’t that make it even better? Well, we heard your call and we are answering! Here at The Yard Sale Place, we will be hosting a hotdog roast with chips and .50 sodas!

All right, all right…not that kind of hotdog roast!

But seriously, we will have such a great time with you and your family! Besides the BBQ, we will have photos with Captain Barrrgain and a fishing “surprise” booth for the kids!

I can even do you one better…No really, I can!

Come dressed up as a pirate at the parade to show your support of our small business, and you will get a special gift! Come to our BBQ dressed as a pirate and receive 10% off your total purchase! I am not kidding you!

This will be one of the most fun filled days of the summer here in Nampa! Come see us!

Happy Birthday, Melody!

May 2013

0 (2)

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and in addition to celebrate being a mother, our own first lady, MELODY, is one year older! Oh, ahem…one more year young!

What are our most favorite things about our tribe’s leader over here? Hmmm…

*She as a sense of humor. We can have a great time as a group and laugh all the harder with her humor mixed into the day. :D

*Melody is one of the most compassionate souls you will ever meet! From my heart, she is a great example of love and Christ. This woman has renewed my faith, she has made me feel like a part of her family, and has cared for my family like few others ever have. She holds a deep love for her customers and smiles when she tells us stories about them. (Oh, come on! They are great stories!)

*This woman is our leader, part of a team of bosses that isn’t afraid to break her back in the trenches with the rest of us. I don’t think that in all the years of working anywhere, I have ever had a supervisor work as hard as she does everyday.

*She is the absolute epitome of the self-employed. There is a standard set that reflects her ethics and her expectations of the rest of us…we are able to follow her footsteps as we find our way through the stacks of boxes that wait for us each week! Melody is not one to back down, never sits idle, and thinks about each of us as individuals, not just employees. She knows we all need different thing from her and she delivers.

I could go on and on, but when it comes to dealing with honest and trustworthy people, she is on my list.

We all wish her the happiest of days and here’s to many more days of working with such a great example in work and in life!

Come down to the store to meet her and wish her  happy birthday!

Summer Days…

25
Apr 2013

Summer is coming up fast! Are you ready??

Is your backyard the oasis you have always wanted? Are the kids taken care of for those warm months we love so much?

If not, here are some great ideas that we can help you out with this week!

Come on down and pick up some great grills for that amazing outdoor cooking! This is the time of year that the hubby heads out with the hamburgers and cooks us dinner! It sure tastes amazing…

What about the kiddos? This week, we have a trampoline that is complete for $75.00! I’m not kidding. Whether your old one went bad on you or you have wanted something to occupy them for the summer, now is the time to do it. This is just the thing to get your kids outside and exercising!

Other great items we tend to get in for summer are things like outdoor tables and chairs, tents, sleeping bags, plates for outdoor eating, umbrellas, fishing poles, and tool boxes! Even if we don’t have them this week it doesn’t mean we won’t before the season is in full swing!

Remember, our stock changes weekly so it is very true when we say that we look different each week! Come down this weekend and check us out! Keep in mind, that Thursday evening shoppers get first dibs!

We Want You!

Our Mr. Dan being so silly!

Our Mr. Dan being so silly!

 

Thank you for visiting our brand new website! Now, come see us in our warehouse where we consign 20+ families from our area!

Every weekend is new because nothing stays on the shelves for longer than 3 weeks at a time. No, that is not us being over-confident…lol… We literally give each family 3 weekends to sell their goods.

  • Weekend #1: All new items are full price!
  • Weekend #2: All new items from weekend 1 are discounted by 30%!
  • Weekend #2: All new items from weekend 1 are discounted by 60%!!

Holy cow! Is that right?? Yep, that is right. Every weekend, we showcase new items and discount the ones that didn’t sell that first weekend. Once the three weeks are up, the owner can collect their goods or we happily donate them to charities in our area. It’s a win win!

So, now that you know the basics, you need to stop on by! Check out our store hours for Thursday, Friday and Saturdays when we are open to the public. OR if you see a great deal on Craigslist from us, feel free to drop by and view it in person!

In the event that you were not aware, we also have a Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn page!

We are asking for your support of small businesses everywhere by “liking” and “following” us today! Share these links with your friends and sign up to recieve new posts by email! Together we can do great things.

Our Mascots Have New Names!

25
Feb 2013

Recently, we held a contest where we asked our customers to name our beloved mascots! Curious to know what names won?

Well, first let us fill you in on what we do on a daily basis…

The Yard Sale Place is THE best shopping spot in the Boise area! Just as our name suggests, we host a massive yard sale inside a warehouse every week with new families joining the ranks and bringing us their unwanted treasures to pass along.

Are we open everyday? Well, we are there every day (except Sunday) but not open to the public until Thursday evenings, and Fridays and Saturdays. We do post some items on Craigslist, but call before you come out to ensure someone is available to assist you. :)

Our theme is pirates, so come out ready to hunt for treasures that may take you quite by surprise!

And that brings us back to the big reveal…the names of our mascots!

One of them is a green parrot and the other is a large, burly pirate captain!

The names we chose from our entries are Penny the Parrot and Captain Barrgain!

Come on down for smiles, deals, and pictures as the good captain himself! There is fun for all, come visit soon!
