Consignment Sale

This pass Saturday, I went to my bi-yearly consignment sale in Oaks, PA.

It is run by The Valley Forge Mothers of Twins and Triplets Club (VFMOTTC).   Twice a year (spring and fall) they would throw an awesome sale.

I went for the first time when Jacob was only 4 months old.   My husband's supervisor has told him about it, I wasn't too sure if I wanted to take an hour drive to somewhere we were not familiar with, but since we didn't have much to do that Saturday we decided to check it out.

I wasn't expecting much, maybe a few piles of clothes i would have to dig thur and some junky looking old toys in bins. 

I was SO wrong!  There were so many clothes! All organized in size and gender, all hung up in racks, racks of shoes, bibs, towels, strollers, baby seats, booster seat, toys, books, baby carrier and etc

I found polo sweater for $3, a pack of 5 onesies for $2, jeans for $4.  They had a lot of baby GAP stuff still in good condition, and even some NEW stuff.

They even had a couple of baby bijou baby carrier that usually sells for 90 bucks new.  They sold them for $25 bucks! (and looks almost new)    I was SO mad because I just bought one brand new for 90 bucks at toys r us not too long ago.

I couldn't even return it because we had already started using it and Jacob was a drooling machine (we used to call him lord droolington)

We spend a little under $100 the first time, and I have been going ever since then. 

So I had my game plan for this pass Saturday, I wanted to pick up a few clothing item, just some tee shirts and shorts,  something casual...something he can just wear around the house this summer.
Some storage boxes for his toys and maybe a toddler bed.  They had an awesome one last year from pottery barn kids, I took too long to decide and someone snatched it up.

Well when I got there, I finally remember they didn't have much clothing for 2T and up.
BOOOOOO to me!  I should have remembered!

When I went last fall, I was looking for 2T and the selection was SO small.  I found a few things like a t-shirt or 2.

So this year all we bought was Toys, Jacob was very happy about that.


The next sale will happen in the fall, I don't know if I will be going back since they don't carry much in Jacob's size and we don't really need anymore toys.
