Reaping financial benefits from the purge

March 12th, 2012 at 01:56 pm


I am slowing clearing out and cleaning up. My dancing daughters go through shoes at an alarming rate, and now that they are both on toe it isn't resonable for the younger one to wear the older one's cast offs. So that said, I had six pairs of ghillies and seven pairs of hard shoes in a small pile in the basement.

My girls danced last Saturday at our Parish/School's St. Pat's Dinner Dance and there was also a 4th grader who danced the reel. I have a 4th grader as well, so I was talking to the mother. She mentioned she needed shoes (preferably used) and I said I had a huge stash. I dropped them off at school last Tuesday.

I got an email from the mother that her daughter found both a pair of hard and soft shoes that she'll be buying. $100 for something sitting there collecting dust. New: the ghillies run $75 and the hard shoes are $150, so she's getting a good price, and I'm $100 richer.

Found money is going toward the trip to Champaign/Urbana for the State Science Fair. I'm $100 ahead!

    I remember wearing ghillies when I was a teenager! Didn't do any Irish dancing in them, however.
