Why shop consignment?

Why should I shop at a children's consignment sale?

When I was pregnant with my first child, I wanted everything new for my baby. I wanted to pull it out of the box and put it together. I wanted the fabric to be brand new and everything to sparkle. Oh, how I was a fool. My son never took to the swing so it was used for only 2min...great use of that money! I got so many great things at my baby shower, but he outgrew many things before I could remove the tag. The high chair...it looked brand new after a wipe down with bleach. The adorable wooden cradle that would rock my baby to sleep when he came home from the hospital...I only wish it had been that easy. It was only used a handful of times before he outgrew it. Majority of moms can relate and they are consigning!

My message to you is that there are many "like new" children's items for rock bottom prices. As I am tagging donations and seeing a few items come through the door, I am taken away by the deals. I don't have an infant anymore, but the Nap Nanny, Britax car seat, double strollers, nursery decor, exersaucers, etc. are really nice and cheap! I do have my eye on some great books, toys, clothing, etc that my preschooler and 8yr old would love. We have 50 sellers walking through the door on Friday night to set up their items so I am so excited to see what they will bring.

Let someone know that may be interested. This sale is great for expecting mothers (we have maternity and many expecting books), moms of the infants to elementary age, grandparents (great things to keep at Grandma's), and caregivers. Pass this post along and let others know of this great opportunity that comes around once a year.

Pass It On is different than majority of consignment sales because the money raised goes directly to the Salvation Army Red Shield Family Residence. Help us to make a difference!
