The girls and I went to a consignment sale Wednesday. I didn't pick up much, but it was fun to get out. I did pick up a pair of shoes for Kate, just some brown play shoes for fall. She's been in the same size for awhile, so I expect to have to buy her new ones soon, so I thought this $2 pair would get us through until that next jump in size. I also picked up two books. We have absolutely worn out our copy of the book
Prayer for a Child, which I dearly love. I picked up a jumbo sized hard back for $1! Then there was a book called
Tails. It's really cute, with lots of textures and moving parts. I was able to get it for $3. The girls love it.
These sales can be great savers, so long as you don't buy stuff you normally wouldn't and you check prices--I don't buy designer clothes for my kids, so $40 for the princess dress Kate wanted, wasn't a good deal for me. It's tight quarters trying to get through with a stroller, let alone a double stroller and a rather pregnant belly.

I wish I could find a consignment store in our area! I keep hearing about them from other people in different states, but have had no luck. How did you find out about it?
A friend told me about this sale. It wasn’t a consignment shop, but a sale where local people put their things up for sale for just a few days. This one was by “Here we Grow Again,” but I also went with her to one done by “Just Between Friends” in the spring.
We have a local Children's Orchard shop that’s open all year round and I’ve also shopped at Once Upon a Child in other places that we’ve lived.
Here’s a website to find the seasonal sales in your area: http://www.kidsconsignmentsales.com/seasonalsales.htm
My sister-in-law found one in Michigan called "mom to mom." I don't know where else they do business, though.
