Consignments Sales


Saturday morning Sean and I ventured out to a consignment sale someone had told me about. It's for baby, children and maternity only. They don't have a store just have sales about once a season. There are more though since we live in a big city then just once a season! This one we went to is called "Just between friends." I was nervous that it would be super crowded with people grabbing stuff all over the place. I also thought it would be picked over since we were going on the second day. I was WRONG! People must not know about these sales because there was only 3 other ladies shopping in the entire convention center! Plus tons of clothes, toys, blankets, shoes, books, etc....... I can't even name all the things they had. It was pretty amazing. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean everything was as well as some things were still brand new with the tags on them :) We ended up finding a used maternity pillow that I was super excited about since it's pretty expensive in the stores. We also bought a pack of burp cloths that were brand new, a newborn sleep sack, and two maternity tops.
We went home and I tried out my pillow right away. It was about 5 minutes later when we realized that the pillow must have been from a home with a cat. I was sneezing, my face was red and my entire body was itching.  We went back to the sale the next day and thankfully (even though all sales are final) they took it back for store credit. Since it was the last day of the sale everything (except tags with stars on them) were 50% off. WOO HOO! Again I thought it would be picked over but there was still tons of stuff to look through. My favorite thing we got was the little cable knit sweater with the button on the shoulder. All the pajamas were $1-$3! I will definitely be attending the next sale. I'm super excited since the next one we will know the gender. This time we only got gender neutral items.
