why we love consignment

So many of you know my love of all things consignment...whether that we clothes and toys for the baby or couches and chairs for our home. To me, it's great getting things that are inexpensive, especially when it comes to Rob's clothes...which he grows out of way too quickly for my taste:)

Enter in my favorite consignment sale of the year, Here WEE Grow Again. It's held at Aldersgate United Methodist in Charlottesville, running from this saturday through the 13th. I get to shop early because I volunteer there, and let me tell you, we always have trouble deciding which things to keep and which to sadly part with.....that's my plug for them, if you come this saturday or next, look for me, i'll be working.

Just to give you an idea, here's what we scored, all for $120 bucks!

30 items of summer clothing...most of his summer wardrobe (we hope)..including a sweet easter polo, beach year, pjs and romping around clothes. Of course, we picked up three new UVA themed items...who's surprised.
10 new books...i was about to throw "the fire engine book" out the window I was so tired of it
4 new toys

My little man is loving his new toys already...he's getting to be such a big boy playing with trucks...



and, like any Luck boy, immediately trying to figure out how to take it apart...most likely to figure out how to lift it and paint it orange...just a thought.
