"We have gotten great advice from other consignment sales and sellers along the way, and really appreciate the value of gently used children's clothes, toys, shoes, coats, books, equipment, etc - especially in this economy.
"Our customers are getting good products and prices, and our sellers in turn are getting some additional income from these items. Additionally, at the end of the sale each of our consignors has the opportunity to donate unsold items to charities who need gently used children's items. It has been nice to be a part of that aspect. At our fall sale, we were able to make donations to two local charities who were in great need, and we plan to continue with future sales.
