I got up in the attic. I went throught the kids clothes in their rooms. I have washed. I have dried. I haved ironed. And ironed. And ironed. I ironed over 100 pieces of clothing yesterday.
Why? Because I want some money. Our city has a Kids Mart consignment twice a year. One is in the spring and one is in the fall. They rent a large building and it is a huge event. There are a lot of people that do all of the shopping for their kids at this event. I can get better prices at garage sales and even the clearance sales at some stores so I don't like to go buy from them. But, I can make more selling than at a garage sale. Most of my things are Old Navy, Gap, Limited Too, Levis, or Childrens Place. They all sell really well so I hope to make some money.
Everything has to be stain free and tear free. I like to press everything so I can get the best price. After so many days everything goes to 25% off, then the final days it is 50% off. If I sold all of this for 50% off and paid my fee (1/3 of sale price) then I will make $120.00. I still have about 20 pieces that I saw a stain and am washing. I also have shoes, gift items from my gift box, and a toile diaper/tote I bought at a garage sale for $1.
My husband picked this up off the side of the road. I really like it. The hinges are off the top door but can be fixed. I have an area in our new game room that I can put this and move all the DVDs and movies into this cabinet. It is about 5 foot high.

Just can't get over how many items you have ironed! You are the WOMAN!
Great find too!
I can't believe my kids are in jackets either. It is totally too early for that!
We are receiving torrenchal rains again.
We have a consignment sale like that here in SC, too. I take items in to them to sell, but I don't buy from them. Love the cabinet:)
Wow great find on the side of the road! I never see that kind of stuff.
Thats a neat find...your husband sounds like mine...picking up things off the side of the road...
Good luck at the sale...we have those here and everyone always does real well...
What a great find! We never see things like that either.
I hope you make lots of $$$ at the sale- that was a ton of ironing!
Love your cabinet. Just to give you an idea of what I took to the consignment sale here last weekend. I had 90 Maternity items and 95 0-9 month girl items. That is just the beginning. So I know how long it takes to get everything ready. Good luck.
