I'm not sure how you feel about consignment when it comes to kiddie type things. I feel like some people love it, and some people...not so much.

I am of the camp of loving it. Now, I am a picky consignment buyer. I really only buy things with tags on them or dressy clothes...things that are smocked or embroidered don't get worn a lot, so they look like brand new, even buying them used!

This week is the Fort Worth Just Between Friends consignment sale. It's a massive, MASSIVE, consignment sale and I am completely in love with it. When I was working on Jack's nursery, I found an amazing changing table that I painted and spruced up. Last Fall I went I found all kinds of precious bubble suites that Jack wore for his dedication and Easter. Last Spring I went and found some good toys and a few good clothes finds.

This year I signed up to volunteer so that I could be among the first people to pick through the sea of goodness.

Look at tha sea of goodness!

I mean, are you kidding me?

So, early Saturday morning, there I was. I brought a cart, which I'd never done before, and got BUSY! I'm not kidding, you guys. I walked out of there with over $300 in clothes. Everything from jackets to sweaters, a huge pile of footie pajamas, tons of pants and jeans, 5 pairs of shoes, and about 6 pairs of embroidered or smocked overalls. After freaking out a little bit when I heard the total, I reminded myself that if I were to buy all of the Gymboree pants, sweaters and jeans that I'd picked up brand new, that alone would be well over $300! Not to mention the overalls and JonJon's I'd snagged! And, I found a Halloween costume! Jack's gonna be a frog...sooooooo cute! Just you wait.
