Consigning Time

I am a little bummed!  There are SO many awesome sales this weekend and I have to work!  I have started working part-time as an event planner for a non-profit (I love it!) but it just so happens that the board meeting for the non-profit is the same weekend as opening weekend of consignment season.  UGH!

I can not possibly get to all of the sales I want to get to and it makes me sad!  So you guys keep me posted and tell me what you find!  Happy Shopping!

WOOHOO!  Consignment season has started!  I am so excited and SO ready to clear stuff out of my house.  I think it is time for a giveaway!!!!

TODAY IS THE DAY!  I spent all afternoon yesterday cleaning my house so today I am ready to start tagging.  I am actually excited because that means I can clear out so much stuff from the playroom and storage closet. 

My boys are ready for it too!  They know that if they get rid of STUFF then mama will bring home some new STUFF.  Crazy cycle but it is what it is.  I admit it.  I am a sucker for my boys.  Since I don't run out to Toys R Us or Target and buy them new stuff all the time, I feel like consignment season is when I can spoil them a little. 

Hope everyone is starting to plan their season.  It is about to start... WOOHOO!

Dear Consignment Fairy,

Please come visit my house soon! 

I have lots of clothes set aside in nice rubbermaid bins and hung up in the spare closet ready to be hung and tagged.  I just need a little help setting aside the time to get them ready for this sale season.  You know that usually I am very good at getting my stuff ready for the sales but this summer has been a little different.

You see, for the past few months I have been very busy working in order to take my family on a nice vacation to Disney World.  I have these two wonderful boys and a great husband and they really deserve this trip.  So I am asking, will you come sprinkle some of your fairy dust and help me get all of these toys cleaned and tagged?  Would be so kind as to wave your magic wand and have the clothes fly onto the hangers and tag themselves?

If not that could you at least sprinkle some of your magic dust on me so that I will again turn into the well prepared consignor that I am? 

You will?  Good. I better get to it!

UGH!  I am SO ready for consignment season.  It seems like toys just multiply in my house and I am ready for them to be gone!!!!  Seriously, i love summer but there is something that feels so wonderful about purging lots of stuff.  FOUR MORE WEEKS!

So excited to have gotten the chance to review the new manual 

"Consignamania-The How To Guide To Starting Your Own Seasonal Consignment Business teaches stay at home moms how to host a seasonal consignment sale that is profitable and fun for all involved, while allowing them to fulfill their calling to stay at home and still be able to contribute to the family budget."

It is amazing and would be such a blessing to anyone who is going to start a consignment sale. 

And I LOVE their slogan...

"RETAIL IS FOR SISSIES!"

 THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED

I feel the need to vent ladies.  My son and I went shopping at a sale yesterday and he was SO excited to ind a really cool Hockey Lego set.  I mean - really excited.  Talked about it all day and couldn't wait to get home to play with it.  You can probably guess where I am going with this - we get home and he opens it and it is MISSING the main piece to make it work.  He was crushed.  This happens very rarely but when it does I just want to scream.  It is not nice.  PLEASE do not sell toys with missing pieces.  Throw them away.  Is it really worth the five dollars you made to know you disappointed a child?  I think not.

Another awesome shopping weekend is upon us!  Tomorrow Brentwood UMC opens and I ALWAYS go this sale.  Unfortunately, my sweet nine year old is having ear tubes put in for the SEVENTH time tomorrow morning.  The surgery is no big deal to him but mama worries even if it is simple.

Anyway, I am planning on having a BIG shopping day on Saturday.   I always have my Consigning Time tote when I shop so if you see me - say HI!

WOW!  Brea (owner of Encores and More North)

has always been a great supporter of Consigning Time. 

She has so generously offered me one pass to the

WORKERS presale Thursday night at 8:00 to give away!
