Charleston Repeats


This year, I consigned a bunch of stuff at the consignment sale. One of my favorite things about charleston, is the fact that children's consignment is hot!! Also, if you don't want something, you put it at the end of your driveway and someone comes by and takes it home. I've picked up many things, including bikes and swings.
This particular consignment sale goes for 3 days and is crazy!! This is a picture of half of the warehouse and there's just one more day left to shop. This has already been picked through by consignors, volunteers and first time moms. Here's the process to shop: No strollers. They suggest you bring a laundry basket and tie a rope to it and drag it around. I found that to be a little annoying, but big strollers were more annoying. Nothing like tripping over some rope tied to a laundry basket. No, I didn't trip, but I thought about it. I have a small frame stroller that would be perfect for shopping so I sent an email to the owners and specifically asked if I could bring mine. I got a response of "ok". But, it was a lot smaller than a laundry basket.
Anyways, I spent less than 1/2 of what I made selling stuff, so I figure that's not too bad.
