In the Spring – Scott and I went to Charleston Repeats, a semi-annual consignment event, and struck out big time.  We were overwhelmed and under informed.  I’m pretty sure I was hungry and Scott’s eyes hurt (baby paraphernalia is BRIGHT!).  We were not ready.  Imagine – deer in headlights.

This time around I was better prepared, with a fellow Mommy friend, and felt like I actually had a clue.  I was on a mission, but was prepared to leave empty-handed (if I got caught up in all of the madness again).  Sarah’s head = on straight.

My goal was to look for a bouncy seat for Nana and Grandpa’s house and a Halloween costume for Max.  Success!  I also scored a boppy pillowcase, a changing table pad (also for Nana and Grandpa’s), a puzzle, cloth stackable pails, and all of this clothing…

FOR $78!

The clothes were $38 and in GREAT condition.  The little jacket alone was probably $38 brand new.  The labels are Gap, Old Navy, Circo, Carter, and Oshkosh.  I was very pleased with these Fall/Winter finds!

I will DEFINITELY go back to this sale in the Spring.  My advice?  Go with a plan, patience, and a full belly.  Be ready to commit, but don’t be impulsive.  It can be VERY overwhelming, but VERY worth it!  (BONUS: Admission and parking are FREE!)

TEAM CONSIGNMENT!  I didn’t think I’d be into it, but babies grow so fast and I’m a sucker for a good deal.

Did anyone else go?  What was your best find?

XOXO

p.s. The highlight of my time there?  Meeting someone who follows the blog! SO SORRY that I was totally awkward when you asked if I was Sarah from Charm of Charleston.  That has never happened before…please comment and at least tell me your name!  No, this dummy didn’t even think to do that.  <insert embarrassed face>  ::kicks rocks::  THANK YOU FOR SAYING HI!!!!!!!!!

p.s.s. Max’s Halloween costume is mixed in there as a teaser.  (Um yes, it was $3!)  I’m keeping it a surprise…for now! 

p.s.s.s. Cutest pic of Max on the blog tomorrow, so come back!
