Around this time of year for the last 4 years I would be turning my dining room into a make-shift retail shop to prepare for the Highland Street Kid's Consignment Sale. Sorting, ironing, arranging, tagging, pricing, listing everything on inventory sheets and packing it all up to deliver to a church way out past Wolfe Chase Mall and if I wanted to volunteer I could shop early when all the good stuff is still there and then come pack up whatever didn't sale back up.
Well this Fall is a little different, I didn't want to participate this year. I guess I was just so tired of being tired that I looked through my busy Fall schedule and "X" what I could out. I was feeling a little bad for not participating but for my sanity I declined.
I stumbled upon a sweet little secondhand store on Tuesday (My DAY OFF now) and decided to go check it out and see if I could find any canning supplies (We will leave that topic for another day). Anyway I decided I would look through the children's clothes and see if there was anything worth getting. To my surprise I found many items for Sara & Joshua and even a pair of shorts for me. I also found some great picture frames for the Grandmother's and Great Grandmother's Christmas gift.
I went to check out feeling so good about my treasures I had found and to my surprise all the clothes were on sale for 50% off. So my $2.00 shirts I found for Josh were $1.00 and the beautiful smocked dress I found Sara was $2.00 instead of $4.00. On top of that all the proceeds go to missions over seas.
There are so many people I know that wouldn't set foot in a little place like that, well that is just fine with me because that is less people I have to share my treasures with~
