Twice a year I look forward to the Growing Cents of Style consignment sale in Barrington. I have absolutely no shame in admitting than one person's garbage is my (Mya's) treasure! This sale is where the rich, hoity-toity Barrington Moms bring their "gently used" kids clothes, shoes, and toys to consign. My sister and I go to the sale together, arriving early in hopes of being first in line! The feeling of accomplishment I feel when I leave is the best feeling ever! I feel like I've cheated the system! I get namebrand clothes for usually under $5. This year, I got multiple pairs of striderite shoes from anywhere from $5-$10...these are $50 in the store! I also got a new Petunia Pickle Bottom baby bag for $35.... selling for $170 online!!! I also got a Graco double stroller for $20 (everything is half off on Sunday)! The ladies working gasped as I checked out! New baby bag and new baby stroller....all set for baby #2......someday!
One of Mya's FAVORITE purchases this sale was her new robe! She has always been fascinated with my robe. When I get out of the shower, she always grabs my robe and hands it to me. So, when I saw this precious pink robe for $2 I had to buy it!!! It was love at first sight! She loves it!!! It is my secret weapon to get her out of the bathtub to go to bed!
Mommy: Mya, do you want to get out and put on your robe?
Mya: Yeah, Momma, I'm cold.
