Heart2Heart was at Tessa’s house at 7:30 am and there were already quite a number of people going through the many things that Tessa had for sale. This is one of the most organized Garage sales I have ever been to.
1.) All the items were properly sorted by category
2.) Most of the items had price tags
3.) They had receipts to give to the customers
4.) There were guards by the gate to check all the people going out and checking the items with the receipt
5.) There were people in charge of the different responsibilities - pricing, cashiering, guarding, etc etc.
Thank you to Tessa for generously sharing her blessings. She has a lot of blessings, a lot things for herself but she generously gives them away too….. for charity. Popsie was telling her to send down more toys since the toy department was running out and the next thing you knew, she sent down more toys :-)
As soon as Tessa came down to greet everyone and check on the sale, the ambience of the whole event changed. She just has this personality that is so alive and fun. Then she brought down her Ipod and put some music! That was so cool! A garage sale with music! :-) She is just as colorful as the many things that she had in the garage sale.
Being the Sea Princess, she had some fish decorations hanging in her tents…
Some friends of Heart2Heart came over and cousins of Tessa stopped by before their saturday biking routine…

Popsie seemed to be the head honcho of everything. I found her so amusing as she would talk to the customers and try to explain not to bargain so much as the proceeds would go to the “mga batang may bulate.” She is so funny! Then she was the one responsible for placing the price tags on the items the day before
All proceeds go to the National Orthopedic Hospital - psychiatric ward for kids. They will buy nebulizers, medicines and pediatric wheelchairs. Also, the proceeds to go to around one thousand children in Roxas City, Capiz for deworming.
Marlon was the one in charge of pricing the items especially the clothes, gowns, shoes and accessories of Tessa
I was surprised to see my bootcamp classmate Girlie. She is part of batch ‘81 and was in charge of the first shift. She was the cashier listing down all the items in the receipt and accepting payments. It was a tough job as the lines were long very early in the morning.
Tessa had any many things to choose from, not only her fashion items that she is known for. There were home items, picture frames ( with her photos in them ), children’s clothes, DVDs, some electronic items, sofas, chairs, and toys.
Some of the customers of course wanted to have a picture with the celebrity
Time to shop again and then next year maybe you will have PART2! Thanks Tessa for your generosity. I am sure you were attached to many of your things that had sentimental value to you, but yet you willingly shared them with others who will benefit from them. You will surely be helping a lot of children. Thanks also to Assumption batch ‘81 for spearheading the event! What a great idea!
But for those that are expert pet owners, having a frenchie seems like a good idea…give Andrew or Kim a call.
