It's consignment sale time! I've been shopping consignment sales for the last 5 years. I started when I was pregnant with S-I found almost all my maternity clothes there and when she was closer to being born, I found tons of baby gear and clothes. I never sold her things, thinking we might have another child one day (while never imagining we would have TWINS), so F is getting all of her sister's hand me downs, and I shop the sales for S and C.
This spring I started selling F & C's clothes. Wow! It's been a real eye opener. Pinning and tagging are a lot more time consuming that I imagined, especially with three little ones needing me. But in the end, I've made good money-enough to pay for half of S's preschool tuition for this year.
I'm selling at two sales this season, one ended yesterday, and the other one is in a couple weeks. Since I don't have many "big" items and sell most things for $5 or less, I'm not expecting a huge payday like in the spring. But it will be nice to have some space back in our house and get some new things.
Do you have consignment sales in your area?

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Do you think I'm talking about Christmas today? Heck, no!!! I'm talking consignment season.
I lurve me a good consignment sale. Because, basically, I'm cheap. I hate spending money on things I know the kiddos will only wear for a few months. Plus, you can find some really great brands at deep discounts--hello, Lilly Pulitzer.
I really do like the spring sales much better than the fall ones. The spring sales are so alive with color. And, boy mom-no hating, I like the girl stuff so much more. There, I said it. Girl clothes are just so much cuter than boy clothes. And that is why my boy will wear nothing but a diaper this summer. Kidding.
Tomorrow is my first sale of the season. And I'm also selling this year since our quiver is full (Duggar reference). I have close to 250 items going out of this house, and my husband couldn't be happier. So let's hope that people are loose with their money this weekend and it doesn't snow!!!
