When I got out Ava's "too big" storage container a few nights ago, I couldn't believe all the shoes, pajamas, jackets, dresses, jeans, ect. that I've bought for her at yard sales & thrift stores!! You know 'out of sight, out of mind'? It is so nice to buy ahead and pay literally next to nothing for things! Well, I finally decided to try out the consignment sale scene as my sister and some friends have had great success; I mean Ava is four, and I'm just now going.
The area we live in has lots of children's consignments sales, so I went to one today called Lil Blessings. An entire church gym was filled to overflowing with neatly organized clothes, shoes, bedding, and children's accessories.
Here's what I got for $47:
|
Large turquoise hair bow, navy peacoat, two solid white shirts and a solid aqua shirt for monogramming/appliques (thanks to my fabulous sister;) |
|
|
a monkey costume for my nephew, Reid.... can't wait to see him in this! |
|
black flats with flower detail, Gigi God's Little Princess DVD, pink skirt (I've learned that these go with lots), dressy coat, casual dress |
How do you disinfect used shoes ? I always wash clothes and use alcohol on toys and books but what do you do for shoes ? Tracey
